This is the most famous cityscape of the Dutch Golden Age, created by Johannes Vermeer, one of the most famous artists in the world. Intertwined with light and dark, clouds and mist, and subtle reflections in the water, this is definitely a masterpiece. We are enjoying the view of Delft from the south. There is hardly any wind here, and the whole city is quiet. Vermeer reflected this serenity in his work, where he painted three horizontal lines: water, city and sky. He also painted the building neater than it actually was.
The work we are showing today is thanks to the Mauritshuis in The Hague, where you can visit the exhibition FLASH | BACK until 16 October 2022. A new masterpiece in a flash , 16 top photography Inspired by 17th-century paintings in the museum’s collection, new works have been created…and views of Delft, of course! : )
