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 painting of a goldfinch by a member of this city’s namesake “School”, (*) Carel Fabritius, is one of his few (10[1])works not to be destroyed in the explosion in this city that killed him. (10[3])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. ■END■
