The text under the portrait on the fence translates to:
Anthony van Leeuwenhoek
the discoverer of microscopic creatures
lived and worked in this city
1632 - 1723
He is said to be the inventor of the microscope, but that is probably not completely true. What he really did was to discover and optimize a process to make perfect spheres of glass in different sizes. These spheres could serve as magnifying glasses of different magnification. He incorporated these spheres in small precision instruments, which became his microscopes. He built approximately 200 of these microscopes, which he used to study the world of microbiology.
The plaquette in his memory dates from 1909, and is located here at the Oude Delft because people thought that his house was here. That is incorrect however, he lived in the Hippolytus area, not far from here.
Anthony van Leeuwenhoek has been burried in the Oude Kerk, of which you can see the tower here.

Huile sur toile (détail), 33 x 46 cm, septembre-octobre 1887 (F 603/JH 1336), musée Van Gogh (merci pour la photo), Amsterdam.
Vincent a peint ici deux types de raisins aux couleurs contrastées : bleu contre jaune et vert contre rouge. Il testait souvent ses combinaisons de couleurs avant de peindre, avec des fils de laine aux nuances diverses conservés en boule dans une boîte de laque rouge (cf. musée Van Gogh d'Amsterdam).
From the Met:
Van Gogh created this painting shortly after confining himself to a mental asylum in the south of France. He considered the motif of cypress trees "as beautiful of line and proportion as an Egyptian obelisk."
