He came from a family of Swiss Huguenots . Burnier studied from 1850 to 1855 at the Düsseldorf Art Academy under Johann Wilhelm Schirmer and Andreas Achenbach . After graduating, Burnier moved to France, where, under the influence of Constant Troyon, he engaged in landscape painting in the spirit of the Barbizon School . He also stayed in Liege and The Hague. In 1869 he moved permanently to Düsseldorf. From there he took part in international exhibitions, including in Belgium. His landscapes, shown in New York , were highly valued by critics. In the 1870s, Burnier maintained contacts with Anton Mauve and Jozef Israëls . Wally Moes (1856-1918) and Johannes Huygens (1833-1911) were his students.

Burnier had lived in Düsseldorf with his wife Julia Furnivall, who came from Great Britain, and his children since 1869. From 1852 to 1856 and from 1870 to 1884 he belonged to the artists' association Malkasten .

His landscape motifs come from Holland , the Ardennes and the Lower Rhine . Burnier is assigned to the Hague and the Düsseldorf School of Painting .
