Life

Toudouze was the son of the landscape painter Jean Marie Émile Toudouze. In addition to his father's painting training, he was also a student of the painter Adolphe Monticelli . He found the diverse motifs of his paintings within France, especially in Brittany and Savoy, as well as on his travels through Belgium, Holland, England, Germany and Italy.
