Victor Brecheret, born Vittorio Breheret (December 15, 1894 – December 17, 1955), was an Italian-Brazilian sculptor.
He lived most of his life in São Paulo, except for his studies in Paris in his early twenties.
Brecheret's work combines techniques of European modernist sculpture with references to his native country through the physical characteristics of his human forms and visual motifs drawn from Brazilian folk art.
Many of his subjects are figures from the Bible or classical mythology.
