I promised our TL-friend *TINTIN* to show her this one !
In 1659 Johannes Vermeer painted: Vieuw on Delft !
This, the most famous painting by Vermeer, was part of the Amsterdam sale of 1696, no. 31: "The town of Delft in perspective, to be seen from the south, by J. van der Meer of Delft; fl 200." ($ us about 400.- in 1696 !! )
View of Delft
