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.

About this painting

Cups are held under the wounds, and none of the blood is let fall. A sun and a moon, each with a face, keep the upper corners; a skull and a bone lie at the foot of the Cross. The Virgin sits at the lower left, and the mounted soldier on the right turns his back. The Minneapolis Institute of Art sets her grief against his indifference, notes Dürer's emphasis on the humanity of Jesus, and says the three angels with chalices draw attention to His fresh wounds. The Large Passion, completed in 1511, was a devotional book, the Gospel narrative told by the monk Benedictus Chelidonius.

Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalen.
