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
The knife is up, and the angel has arrived twice. The Cleveland Museum of Art points to his two sets of legs, the revision left showing. Genesis gives the angel only a voice from heaven; here he reaches toward Abraham, who looks up, while Isaac kneels on the altar with his hands behind him. The museum notes that Andrea del Sarto never finished it, which lays his method bare: a design transferred from a drawing, the chalk gone over in painted lines, clearest in the donkey at the far right. Vasari, the Prado records, counted three versions. The angel is still deciding where to stand.

And he put forth his hand, and took the sword, to sacrifice his son. And behold, an angel of the Lord from heaven called to him, saying: Abraham, Abraham. And he answered: Here I am.
