Puytlinck was born in Roermond, Limburg, in the southern part of the Netherlands,[1] where he was baptized on 11 November 1640.[2] His name is also spelled Puijtlinck.[2] He was the son of Theodorus Puytlinck, a goldsmith from Roermond.[3]

He was active as a painter from 1663. He was active in Reims in 1663, and in Rome from 1667 to 1669.[2] In Rome he joined the Bentvueghels, earning the nickname Trechter.[4] In 1667 he was a witness in a trial regarding an English artist who was stabbed to death in Rome in Via del Babuino.[5] In 1670 he returned to Roermond,[1] where he was active from that year until 1679.[2] In this period he taught Jan Frans van Douven, his cousin.[6] He died in Roermond between 1679 and 1680.[2]
