The son of the dressmaker Clotilde Sophie Butigny. He studied painting with Alexander Kabanel at the National Higher School of Fine Arts . In 1898 he became a knight of the Legion of Honor . The following year, he created the art magazine Cocorico , which advocated the art nouveau style . The covers of some issues of the magazine were created by artist Alphonse Mucha .
Butigny himself, however, did not experiment in art, working on historical subjects, and the events of the Vendée rebellion and the revolt of the Shuans - uprisings of peasants in the west of France under the leadership of the aristocracy and priests against the French Revolution and later Napoleon , were of particular interest. He also painted paintings on other military operations, in particular on the subject of the Napoleonic Wars .
