Maurice Levis was an accomplished oil painter and watercolourist, who specialized in landscape and genre painting. His career spanned over 60 years overlapping the 19th and 20th centuries, and traces of various styles and influences are present in his work. He started his artistic training in the late 1870s at the Académie Julian under Jules Lefebvre, and continued his studies with Henri Harpignies and with Pierre Billet. Their strong Barbizon School, academic and naturalism influences became apparent in his style.
