Gezicht op Delft - Vermeer
Vermeer's painting View of Delft is the most famous city view from the Dutch 17th century. It shows a view from an upper house on the Hooikade and depicts the harbour on the south side. The play between light and shadow, the impressive cloudy sky and the subtle reflections on the water make this painting an absolute masterpiece!
And you can still admire that in real life today. The exact location where Vermeer painted View of Delft can be found at the Hooikade in Delft. From the city centre, it's just a 10-minute walk away.
