Umberto Brunelleschi (1879 - 1949) was an Italian artist. He studied at the Accademia delle Belle Arti in Florence and moved to Paris in 1900 where he soon established himself as a printer, book illustrator, set and costume designer. His illustrated books include works by Voltaire (Candide, 1933), Charles Perrault (Contes du temps jadis, 1912), Musset (La Nuit Vénitienne), Goethe, Diderot (Les Bijoux indiscrets, etc.), and Les Masques et les personnages de la Comédie Italienne, 1914, among others. He worked for Le Rire as a caricaturist and was a contributor to many of the deluxe French fashion publications including Gazette du Bon Ton and Les Feuillets d'Art.
