The Story in the Margin
“View of Delft” (c. 1660–61) is Johannes Vermeer's celebrated cityscape of his native Delft, seen from across the harbor beneath a dramatic, cloud-streaked sky. Vermeer (1632–1675) used tiny flecks of paint to capture sunlight glinting on brick, water and rooftop, creating an effect so vivid it inspired the writer Marcel Proust to call it “the most beautiful painting in the world.” The painting has hung in the Mauritshuis in The Hague since 1822.
Printed with archival giclée inks on smooth, acid-free 220 gsm gallery-grade fine-art paper; available in multiple sizes.

This is exactly what I was looking for, and I looked for a long time. The colors in View of Delft are richer than any version I found online. The size is exactly right for the spot I had in mind. The tones are deep and even across the entire surface.
The customer service here answered me on a Sunday. The clarity of View of Delft makes it look like the original was photographed yesterday. It was the first thing my mother noticed when she visited.
It came packed so well that opening it took ten minutes. The tones across View of Delft are even and true right to the corners. Genuinely delighted with it.
The customer service here answered me on a Sunday. The scale works perfectly for View of Delft and nothing feels cramped. The whole order was smooth from checkout to unwrapping. The detail is sharp enough that I keep finding new things in it.
So glad it found the right spot in your house. Thanks for the kind words. Ines
I was expecting good and got great. Every line in View of Delft is crisp, even in the busiest areas. The cream sits perfectly against the paint we already had. This shop has a customer for life in me.
Thanks for the review, and for trusting us with a gift order. Glad it arrived when it was supposed to.
