About the piece

Johannes Vermeer's 'View of Delft' is celebrated as one of the greatest cityscapes in art history. Painted around 1661, it captures the artist's hometown with a remarkable sense of stillness, using masterful pointillist-like applications of light to render the textures of brick, stone, and water under a vast, atmospheric sky.
