After attending the Franziskanergymnasium in Bozen, he completed the philosophical years at the Universities of Verona and Innsbruck in 1845-1847 and studied law from 1847-1851 at the University of Vienna (temporarily also in Munich). From 1850 Seelos received artistic training (among others with Josef Selleny). In the 1850s, 1860s and 1870s he undertook study trips to Italy.

Until the mid-1860s, lithographic works dominated his work; his main work ("Views of Tyrol") was published by Unterberger in Innsbruck in 1856/1857; Works with Tyrolean views were followed by views from Styria and Upper Austria. In addition to lithographs, Seelos also created oil paintings, drawings and watercolors (landscapes, flowers); In 1885 he was commissioned by Emperor Franz Joseph I to paint large battle paintings (Kolin, Berg Isel, Kahlenberg and Lissa), and he was also involved in decorating the Natural History Museum (Stonehenge, Rosegg tumuli).
