Edgard Tytgat is a Belgian painter, engraver, illustrator, draftsman, etcher, watercolourist and wood engraver. As an engraver and xylographer, he illustrated numerous works.

From 1950, he approached the representation of mythological legends sometimes bathed in a certain eroticism. Edgard Tytgat has participated in numerous exhibitions, both personal and collective, in Belgium and abroad.
