From January 1840 to spring 1844 Bünsow studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Art , including with Johann Ludwig Lund . In 1844 the Copenhagen Art Association acquired his painting “Tellingstedt in Dithmarschen”. A scholarship from the academy, which he received in 1848, could not be used immediately for political reasons. Bünsow therefore traveled to Dresden, where he sought to be close to Johan Christian Dahl . From 1853 to 1858 he worked in Rome . He had his residence from 1844 to 1853 and after the time in the Italian capital in Kiel.

Bünsow's first works from his time in Copenhagen are fine-toned and natural. They are reminiscent of the style of his teacher Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg . Later paintings are under the influence of Louis Gurlitt and are more idealizing. This is particularly evident in the works with Italian landscapes.

Bünsow created high-quality hand drawings in the Italian capital, which are kept in the Kiel art gallery. Later pictures often did not achieve this quality anymore. A notable work from his late creative period is the Holstein Lake Landscape (1860).

Bünsow died unmarried in February 1910 in Kiel. He was buried in the Südfriedhof , where his tomb with a relief portrait of Heinrich Missfeldt has been preserved. The Bünsowstraße in Steenbek-Projensdorf was named after him 1,962th
