[Ape] J Carlo Pellegrini (1839-1889)
Pellegrini signed most of his work under the pseudonym of Ape (Italian for “bee”). He served from 1869 to 1889 as a caricaturist for Vanity Fair magazine, a leading journal of London society. He was born in Capua, then in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. His father came from an ancient land-owning family, while his mother was allegedly descended from the Medici. His work for the magazine made his reputation and he became its most influential artist.
