The city of Delft, the sky, the clouds, a body of water, and people across the water looking in at the city. In an article entitled Johannes Vermeer and the Art of Solitude, author Sudip Bose’s opinion is that viewing the content of artwork should not be rushed. Bose compares two visits he made to The National Gallery of Art in Washington, his first, having to view many of Vermeer’s works in a rushed, crowded environment, and his second, 20 years later, having the time to truly view and interpret the paintings. In his article, Bose (2016) says, "Few artists seem more unsuited to a hurried and harried viewing experience." (Bose para. 7), this is an agreeable point by saying an artist such as Vermeer should be pondered and analyzed. It is enjoyable to be able to work at one’s own pace with no distractions or time limits, an argument Bose has had personal experience
