Van der Veen was born in Amsterdam where he was registered in 1620.[3] He worked in Gorinchem during the years 1637 - 1639 and then travelled south to France and further to Italy, but was back in Amsterdam by 1657 when he became a member of the Guild of St. Luke there.[3] He is known for landscapes after Cornelis Gerritsz Decker, Wouter Knijff, and Roelof Jansz van Vries.[3] Van der Veen probably died in Haarlem.[3]
