View of Delft (Dutch: Gezicht op Delft) is an oil painting by Johannes Vermeer, painted c. 1659–1661. The painting of the Dutch artist's hometown is among his best known.[1] It is one of three known paintings of Delft by Vermeer, along with The Little Street and the lost painting House Standing in Delft,[2] and his only cityscape.[3] According to art historian Emma Barker, cityscapes across water, which were popular in the Netherlands at the time, celebrated the city and its trade.[4] Vermeer's View of Delft has been held in the Dutch Royal Cabinet of Paintings at the Mauritshuis in The Hague since its establishment in 1822.[5]
