Drag the print to move it. The painting is shown at true scale; where its shape differs from the sheet the print has a paper border, not drawn here. Prints are sold unframed, and a frame here is only for planning.

What is dpi?
Dots per inch: how many pixels of the museum’s file go into each inch of paper. Our floor is 240 for sheets up to 20 inches, 180 up to 36 inches and 120 beyond, because a larger print is seen from further away. We never offer a sheet below the floor, and the number on each size is the one you receive.

All editionsAbout this painting
Blood and tears run down Christ's face, and His eyes stay open. The thorns sit low on the brow; both hands come up, open, the wounds showing. Katarína Bajcurová, writing for the Slovak National Gallery, reads the blood as the Passion recalled and the tears, crystalline under heavy lids, as grief over His Mother's suffering. She explains that Aelbrecht Bouts made such diptychs for private prayer, Christ crowned with thorns on the left wing and the lamenting, praying Virgin on the right. This one survives, she notes, as the left wing of a probable diptych. The Mother He weeps for is missing, and the place beside Him stands open.
