Original – View of Delft is an oil painting by Johannes Vermeer, painted around 1660–61. It shows the southern aspect of the city on a calm and tranquil day. Typical Vermeer, this uses natural light in such a marvellous way. (Interesting to note that Delft was a little scruffier than this: Vermeer tidied the place up a bit for his picture). The painting was acquired by the Mauritshuis in the Hague in 1822.

Support Good quality. But I think it needs a little improvement (filesize is small, which is 1.16 MB). --Pokéfan95 (talk) 00:12, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
