Anthon Gerard Alexander van Rappard (May 14, 1858, Zeist - March 21, 1892, Santpoort) was a Dutch painter, draughtsman. He was a pupil of Lawrence Alma-Tadema and for about four years a friend and mentor of Vincent van Gogh, who appreciated him, amongst other reasons, for his social engagement. The letters Van Gogh wrote to Van Rappard are a main source for Van Gogh's biography and work.
Today, Van Rappard's works are rare due to his short life. His paintings are highly prized.
