Johannes Vermeer’s View of Delft (1660–1661) is widely regarded as the most celebrated cityscape of the Dutch Golden Age and one of the most iconic works in seventeenth-century Baroque painting. Measuring 96.5 cm × 115.7 cm and housed in the Mauritshuis, The Hague, the work captures the city from the southeast, looking across the Kolk harbor under a luminous sky.
