A Van Dyke (also spelled Vandyck or Van Dyck) is a style of facial hair named after 17th century Flemish painter Anthony van Dyck. A Van Dyke specifically consists of any growth of both a moustache and goatee with all hair on the cheeks shaven. Even this particular style, though, has many variants, which range from a curled moustache versus a non-curled one and a soul patch versus none.
This style of beard was popular in Europe in the 17th century.
