Delft in the 17th century
Delft is the main inspiration for Pieter de Hooch’s masterpieces. His paintings are known for depicting the atmosphere of life in Delft in the 17th century. You can feel and experience this time again thanks to the beautiful courtyards and interiors that he painted. Pieter de Hooch even raised the painting of courtyards to a new theme in painting.
