Séné studied at the école des arts et métiers in châlons-sur-marne and then, from 1906, with fernand cormon at the école des beaux-arts in paris.

Recognized as an orientalist and animal painter, séné favors the real world, relying on the "modern vision" imposed by the impressionists. Like them, he freed himself from ancestral pictorial canons to invent a new pictorial technique responding to the desire to privilege in painting the instant "impression" on the construction of the mind.
