An artist from the South of France, Jourdan studied in at the Fine Arts Academy in Marseilles, where he later taught. His preferred subject matter were scenes and people from Provence. He bequeathed 19 large paintings and a number of drawings to his home town, Salon-de-Provence, in return for a life pension for his widow: these paintings can now be seen in the Empéri Castle.
