Born 1879 in Montemurdo in Tuscany, Brunelleschi studied in Florence and
moved to Paris in 1900 where he soon established himself as a printer,
book illustrator and costume designer.
He was a major contributor to many of the deluxe French fashion publications
including "Journal des Dames et Des Modes," "Gazette du Bon
Ton" and "Les Feuillets d'Art." Brunelleschi was also the artistic
director of the short lived but significant "La Guirlande d'art et
de la litterature" 1919-1920.
In the 1920's he diversified into set and costume designs for the Folies
Bergere, the Casino de Paris, the Chatelet and theaters in New York, Italy
and Germany. Among his credits include many costumes created for the marvelous
Josephine Baker.
His illustrated book credits include "Les Masques et les personnages
de la Comedie Italienne," 1914; "Phili ou Par dela le Bien et le
Mal," 1921; "Le Radjah de Mazulipatam," 1925;
"Le Malheureux Petit Voyage," 1926; and "Les Aventures de Roi
Pausole," 1930.
