Carlo Pellegrini was a 19th-century Italian painter. He won a gold medal in the art competitions at the 1912 Summer Olympic Games. He was a prolific producer of Winter Sport postcards and posters. He should not be confused with his father, also Carlo Pellegrini. His father, in 1869, was employed by Thomas Gibson Bowles (founder of Vanity Fair) to produce caricatures for his new society magazine, Vanity Fair. He gained fame as a clever caricaturist of politicians and royalty and produced work under the pseudonym 'Ape'. Vanity fair printed his caricatures for over twenty years, from January 1869 to April 1889.
Carlo Pellegrini of postcard fame was born on October 26, 1866, in the Province of Como, Italy. Around 1900 he moved to Switzerland, and was inspired by the winter landscapes and activities which he portrayed in his artwork for many of his postcards and posters. He died in Geneva in 1937 at the age of 70.
Pellegrini won his Olympic Gold Medal held in Stockholm in 1912 for his submission of 'Three connected friezes representing Winter Sports'.
