Léopold Lelée (1872-1947), known as Leo, was a French painter and illustrator born in Chemaze (Mayenne), France on 13 December 1872.
He entered the National School of Decorative Arts in the upper class, becoming a student of Edmond Lechevallier-Chevignard, then at the National School of Fine Arts in Paris, thanks to a scholarship from the general council of Mayenne.
Lelée, having worked extensively on costume and illustration, was asked to create the Perrine School Museum in Laval. He died 26 June 1947.
