Vincent Courdouan was born in Toulan, France in the same home where he would die at the age of 83. The street on which this house stood now bears his name. Courdouan earliest artistic training in Toulan took place in the workshop of Felix Brun where he learned how to draw. Courdouan would eventually move to Paris to study under portrait painter Paul Guerin. However, due to homesickness, Courdouan does not stay in Paris long and returns to Toulan.

Like so many landscape painters of the day, Courdouan applied the plein air technique to his paintings. He would eventually adopt a Naturalist style of painting, which was very Realist, but also embraced the light of the Impressionists. However, he mainly worked in watercolors and pastels and completed sketches until 1846 when he first started to work in oil paint. Courdouan’s home in Toulan gave the artist access to beautiful sea coast and all that the Mediterranean had to offer.

Although Courdouan would later travel to both Algeria and Egypt, these trips did not have a massive effect on his work. However, he created enough work as a result of these trips to be considered among the Orientalists.

Aside from his beautiful provincial landscapes, Courdouan was also known for his paintings of naval scenes. Like so many other artists, Courdouan would also become a professor and taught drawing.

Courdouan is considered one of the finest provincial landscape painters of the Riviera of his time, among other artists from the Toulan School like Bertrand and Dauphin. Today his work is housed all over France, and particularly in Toulan.
