Biographical Record

Moses Levy was born in Tunis and studied art in Florence and Lucca, dividing his life between Tuscany and North Africa. Alongside Boucherle and Antonio Corpaci, he helped found the modern salon exhibitions in Tunis.

Levy was an extraordinary colorist who captured the dynamic motion of Arab cafes, bathers on the beaches of La Marsa, and Jewish wedding rituals. His canvases radiate joy, dazzling southern sunlight, and deep multicultural affection for his native land.
