In 1855 the painter moved to Paris and in 1859 he made his debut at the Salon, exhibiting Port of Caen, Moonlight Effect. Stanislas Lepine specialised in painting picturesque urban views, recurrently choosing to feature the River Seine and the old streets of Paris. In 1860 Lepine undertook a more professional apprenticeship under the guidance of Jean Baptiste-Camille Corot and during this period met the artist Henri Fantin-Latour (1836-1904).
