It is considered Vermeer painted the View of Delft<br />
in his home demonstrated on the image below.<br />
A photograph taken by Adelheid Rech of present day where<br />
Vermeer would have taken the painting.<br />
The painting has been divided into four horizontal<br />
groups: the quay, the water, the town, and the<br />
sky. He portrays an early morning with a blue sky<br />
along with a few dark clouds. The sky has just<br />
cleared up after a sudden bout of rain. Under<br />
these clouds, a shaft of sunlight touches the roofs<br />
of Vermeer’s landscape of Delft. The chiaroscuro<br />
of the buildings by one another creates a sense of<br />
depth as highlighted buildings creating shadowy<br />
surroundings.
