Luce, Maximilien (1858 - 1941) Born in Paris. French painter and printmaker. He was born and brought up in the working-class surroundings of Montparnasse, and an interest in the daily routines and labours of the petit peuple of Paris informs much of his art. After an apprenticeship with the wood-engraver Henri Thhile Hildebrand (b 1824), in 1876 he entered the studio of the wood-engraver Eug Froment where he assisted in the production of engravings for various French and foreign publications such as L?Illustration and The Graphic. He also sporadically attended classes at the Acade Suisse and in the studio of Carolus-Duran. In Froment?s studio he came into contact with the artists LGausson and Emile-Gustave Pzzi (Cavallo-Pzzi; 1851?-1917) and in their company began painting landscape subjects in and around the town of Lagny-sur-Marne.
