## Commentary

The Italianate loggia with Tuscan columns and a black-and-white marble floor, placed in the middle of the meadows to the west of the city, is an invention by Daniel Vosmaer. This view is typical of the art of Delft in its preoccupation with architecture and perspective and with spaces both distant and near at hand.
