He was born in Antwerp but spent most of his career in England, where he was employed making copies of pictures in the Royal Collection.
"[2] He also supplied the figures, probably copied from larger portraits, for A View of Greenwich (c.1632), painted by Adriaan van Stalbemt for Charles I and still in the Royal Collection.
[4] The "Great Picture" (1648; now in Abbot Hall Art Gallery in Kendal), a triptych showing the family of Lady Anne Clifford, which was formerly in Appleby Castle, has been attributed to van Belcamp.
[5] In 1649, following the execution of Charles I, Belcamp was appointed to the commission set up to sell the king's goods.
[6] Belcamp died in London;[1] Richard Symonds noted that he was recently dead in 1653.
