His father was a landscape artist and painter. His grandfathers Augustijn Tijssens the Elder and Peter Laureyssens were art dealers.〔 His uncle Jan Baptist Tijssens the Elder was a landscape and religious painter. Jan Baptist Tijssens the Younger and Jan Baptist Tijssens the Elder are often confused with each other.〔(Jan Baptist Tijssens (I) ) at the Netherlands Institute for Art History 〕 His younger brother Jacobus or Jacomo became a portrait and landscape painter.〔(Jacobus Tyssens ) at the Netherlands Institute for Art History 〕 He was a pupil of his father and Anton Goubau, a leading genre and history painter who had studied in Italy. He became a master in the Guild of Saint Luke in 1689/90 and was active in Antwerp from 1688 to 1691.〔〔(Jan Baptist Tyssens (circa 1665-1723/4), ''An officer smoking a pipe by a grotto, with armour, a drum and a flag in the foreground'' ) at Christie's〕 In 1691 he became co-dean of the Guild but bought himself free from his Guild obligations with a picture.〔 He travelled to Italy.〔 He was recorded in Düsseldorf where he worked for a while as an art dealer for the Elector.〔 He was in Rotterdam in 1695 and is also recorded in Breda and in England.〔 As an art dealer he is known to have traded two Ribera's and Rubens works with Suzanna Forchondt, daughter of Guillam Forchondt and Mary Lemmens.
