Bruno Tepa (1865–1898) was born and died in Lviv. He was the nephew of Franciszek Tepa (1829–1889). He was first tutored by his uncle and later studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków under Izydor Jabłoński. He also spent some time in Munich. He created drawings, watercolours, caricatures.

Bruno Tepa’s sketches form part of the prewar collection of the National Museum of Przemyśl. Due to missing inventory documentation it has been impossible to determine how it became property of the Museum.
