Biography

Van Pee was born in Amsterdam. According to Houbraken he was the son of the Amsterdam painter Jan van Pee, who moved to Antwerp and left his family behind.[1] According to Jan van Gool, he was an art dealer as well as a painter, and for a while specialized in painting carved wooden boards used for ornamental decoration.[2]

According to the RKD he became a member of the Utrecht Guild of St. Luke in 1737.[3] His pupils were his daughter, the miniature painter Henriëtta van Pee (who helped him in his studio from the age of seven),[4] her later husband Herman Wolters, and the painter Adam Silo.[3] He died in The Hague.
