Maxime-Émile-Louis Maufra was born in Nantes on 17 May 1861. He completed his schooling at the secondary school in his native city, where he also took drawing classes.

Two local painters, Charles Lebourg and Charles Le Roux, were his first mentors. Throughout his career, Maufra focused on the subjects he had studied in his youth, such as the sea, harbours, ships and the countryside. 

At the age of twenty he travelled to England, where he was able to study the work of the English landscape painters such as Turner and Constable, who left a deep impression on him.
