Round 2: Tossup 14

In a painting set in this city, an inscription above a brick archway asserts that those who “wish to repair to patience and meekness” must “first descend [...] to be raised.” A “Musical Instrument Seller’s Stall” in this city appears in a painting with a foreshortened viola da gamba in its foreground. A (15[1])painting of a goldfinch by a member of this city’s namesake “School”, (*) Carel (-5[1])Fabritius, is one of his few works not to be destroyed in the explosion in this city that killed him. The empty bell tower of this city’s New Church appears across the River Schie (“skee”) in a 1661 “View of” it. For 10 points, name this Dutch city home to Jan Vermeer. (10[1])■END■ (10[1])
