Discover the story about Johannes Vermeer's View of Delft

View of Delft was painted around 1660–1661 in Delft, the Netherlands.

Vermeer created this work using oil on canvas, with delicate brushwork and precise attention to light, atmosphere, and reflection on water.

The painting shows a detailed cityscape of Delft, capturing a calm and realistic view of the artist’s hometown.

It was likely not made for a specific client, but for a private patron or collector in Delft.

Today, it is on display at the Mauritshuis Museum in The Hague, the Netherlands.
