KLM オランダ航空 Delft Blue House No.76のモデルになった家の詳細情報

Het Straatje (The Little Street)
Rijksmuseum Amsterdam

Delft is almost synonymous with romantic little canals, Delft Blue, the House of Orange and, of course, the famous painter Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675) who lies buried in the Old Church.
The only representation of this Late Gothic house is in one of Vermeer’s most famous paintings: ‘View of Houses in Delft’ (ca. 1658), perhaps better known as ‘The Little Street’. The painting was purchased in 1921 for 625.000 guilders by businessman Henri Deterding (1866-1939) who donated it to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
