Gabriel Ludwig Lori the Elder was a Swiss landscape painter, draughtsman, watercolorist, printmaker and master of etching.

He was known in Bern for his albums of landscapes of Italian and central Switzerland. In 1797 he moved to Herisau, where he worked with his son, the painter Gabriel Laurie the Younger (1784-1846), on a series of views of Moscow and St. Petersburg. In 1812, Laurie returned to Bern and co-founded the Bern Society of Artists.
