View of Delft, c. 1661

Johannes Vermeer

Oil on canvas · 96.5 x 115.7 cm

A hometown skyline rendered with almost photographic patience with light.

Vermeer's rare cityscape shows his hometown across the harbour under a huge, changeable sky, its walls catching a break of sun after rain. Marcel Proust called it the most beautiful painting in the world — a still, radiant portrait of a place.
