Pieter de Goeje learned the trade by his father Jan, who worked as a wallpaper painter in Enkhuizen. He then exchanged his birthplace for Amsterdam, eventually settling in Haarlem. Other teachers of Pieter de Goeje were Hermanus Numan and Pieter Gerardus van Os. In 1830 Felix Meritis awarded him a medal for the best drawing. As a versatile artist, his small oeuvre consists of drawings, watercolors, etchings and paintings of mainly portraits and landscapes. In addition to some hilly, Italianate landscapes, he mainly focused on the typical Dutch landscape: from dunes to meadows, almost always covered with cattle. De Goeje was a teacher of Wouterus Verschuur, who would become known for his horse paintings. Work by De Goeje can be found in the collection of the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam and the Teylers Museum.
