Count Isaac de Camondo (born 3 July 1851 in Istanbul; died 7 April 1911 in Paris) was a member of the House of Camondo, noted primarily as an art collector[1] with a noteworthy interest in the then "avant-garde" artists of the Impressionist[2] and Post-Impressionist movements. He bequeathed his collection to The Louvre in 1908,[3] for which a new suite of exhibition rooms was arranged on the second floor of the wing between the Шаблон:Lang and the Grande Galerie and opened in mid-1914.Шаблон:R

He inherited the principal role in the family's banking business in 1889,[4][5] but did not display interest in the bank's development and closed its Istanbul operations in 1894.Шаблон:R He was also a skilled amateur composer.[6]

A generous philanthropist who did not insist on giving his name to initiatives he sponsored, he was instrumental in the creation of the Société des amis du LouvreШаблон:R and in the establishment of the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées by Gabriel Astruc.[7]Шаблон:Rp
