Van Dijck was born in Antwerp in 1894 and worked in and around Veere for a large part of his life. The painter was taught by Isodor Opsomer (1878-1967). After the outbreak of the First World War he moved to the Netherlands. There he settled - after a stay in The Hague, Amsterdam and Edam - in Veere in 1919. Van Dijck's oeuvre consists of (Zeeland) landscapes, cityscapes, portraits of fishermen and still lifes in a naturalistic style. Between 1920 and 1935 he was influenced by neo-impressionism, which had been introduced in Zeeland by Jan Toorop. In addition to Veere, the artist also worked in Westkappele, Zoutelande, Ellewoutsdijk and St. Anna ter Muiden.
