Alfred Lesbros (1873–1940) was a French painter born in Montfavet, near Avignon, France. He painted approximately a thousand works that can be seen in museums and public collections in Aix-en-Provence, Arles, Avignon, Marseille, Montpellier and Tournon. Some of his works have gained interest and local fame: "La cour de la livrée de Thury", "Le jardin", "Footing" (Calvet Museum, Avignon). From impressionism to cubism, Alfred Lesbros took part in the artistic revolutions of the early twentieth century.
