View of Delft is an oil painting on canvas by
Johannes Vermeer, painted c. 1660–1661. Depicting the artist's hometown
Delft, it was completed at a time when
cityscapes were uncommon, and has become one of Vermeer's most popular works. It is one of three known paintings of the city by Vermeer, along with
The Little Street and the lost painting House Standing in Delft. The use of
pointillism suggests that the painting, which is held by the
Mauritshuis in
The Hague, postdates The Little Street.Painting:
