He received his education at the grammar-school of Armagh, and early appeared on the stage, first distinguishing himself under Mr. Digges, of Edinburgh. In 1771 he acted at Dublin in rivalship with Mossop; and having acquired considerable reputation, was engaged at Covent-Garden by Mr. Colman, where he made his first appearance in 1776 in Belcour, in the West Indian. For many years he was the most admired actor in sprightly comedy, being characterised by a vivacity and elegance of deportment in which he had no competitor among modern actors. He quitted the stage in 1803, and became a joint proprietor with Mr. Knight in the Liverpool and Manchester theatres, which flourished under their management. Mr. Lewis bore au uniformly respectable character in private and domestic life. He married Miss Leeson, of Covent Garden theatre, by whom he had a numerous family.

He was accordingly placed as a pupil with Mr. Loutherbourg, whose manner of painting he adopted, and acquired considerable reputation by his landscapes and sea pieces. After travelling for improvement, he settled in London, and rose to distinction. He was appointed painter to the King of Poland, who honoured him with the Order of Merit; and his knighthood was confirmed by his Majesty, by whom he was nominated his landscape painter.
