Life

Little is known about Levin's life. As successor to Karl Woermann, Levin became curator of the art and literature collection and teacher of art history at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf.[1] As such, he was succeeded by Friedrich Schaarschmidt in the early 1890s.[2] [3] Of particular importance for the history of art are his Repertorium about the collections of the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf (1883), his biography of the painter Eduard Bendemann (1885) as well as his Beiträge zur Geschichte der Kunstbestrebungen in dem Hause Pfalz-Neuburg (1904–1910).

In 1894 Levin lived in Düsseldorf-Pempelfort at Scheibenstraße 2.[4]
