Trained at the Ghent Academy under Théodore-Joseph Canneel, Tytgadt further honed his skills in Paris under the guidance of Alexandre Cabanel. His body of work includes historical and biblical scenes, portraits, and depictions of beguines and beguinages. Tytgadt's contributions to the art world extended beyond his artistic output, as he played a pivotal role in the Ghent Academy, serving as a teacher and later as its director.

His commitment to the arts went beyond teaching, as he actively campaigned for the construction of the new Museum of Fine Arts in Ghent, an institution that he later presided over until his passing. Tytgadt's artistic legacy and contributions to the cultural scene in Ghent remain a lasting testament to his impact.
