He was born to Augustin Victor Bertinot, a drape manufacturer, and his wife Françoise Aurore, née Lelièvre. A childhood injury to his hip left him with a limp. He showed an early aptitude for drawing and, after completing his primary studies, decided to become an engraver. At the age of fifteen, his parents agreed to enroll him in classes taught by Hippolyte Pauquet. Later, he studied with Alexis-François Girard  [ fr ].

Finally, he finished his studies with Michel Martin Drolling and Achille-Louis Martinet. The latter was especially supportive; helping him to prepare for a major competition in 1848. [1] He won the award for engraving at the Prix de Rome in 1850, spending several years at the Villa Medici.

Upon returning, he established a studio in Paris on the Rue de la Pompe. [1] In 1863, he married Élise Mélanie Léonie Soyez, the granddaughter of Baron Soyez  [ fr ]. Their son, Émile Bertinot (1864-1936), was a jurist who served as Mayor of Meudon [1]
