The museum’s file supports 18×24 in at 250 dpi; a larger sheet would fall below our floor.
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
Christ kneels on a high rock and looks up, and a small angel comes down through the dawn holding a cup. The National Gallery calls the rock improbable and reads it as a church altar, where the Mass would be received; above it a cherub holds out a chalice, and a spiked fence post beneath brings to mind the crown of thorns. Bellini lays shell gold in fine strokes for the early morning light. Beyond the river Judas leads the soldiers. Three watchers are asleep in the foreground. Christ prays that this chalice pass from Him, and the cherub is handing it to Him.

And going a little further, he fell upon his face, praying and saying: My Father, if it be possible, let this chalice pass from me. Nevertheless, not as I will but as thou wilt.
