Together with Daniël Dupré and Jean Grandjean, Voogd trained with the celebrated painter of decorative wall-hangings, Jurriaen Andriessen. Thanks to sponsorship from the Amsterdam collector Dirk Versteegh, Voogd was able to travel to Rome in 1788, and he spent much of the rest of his life there, working alongside other northern artists, and coming under the influence of Germans such as Johann Christian Reinhardt, as well as fellow countrymen such as Knip.

Though a few paintings by Voogd were recorded, his drawing style was almost entirely unknown until the appearance of a substantial group of drawings which emerged in the 1950s from the Schimmelpenninck van der Oye collection at Kasteel Duivenvoorde, Voorschooten.
