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
Two corpses lie in an open grave with the spades beside them, and above them two old men read their books. The Office of the Dead fills three full quires of the Belles Heures, and the Limbourg brothers gave it this single illumination; its prayers, Wendy A. Stein writes for the Met, were said to shorten a loved one's time in purgatory. Stein suggests the bodies may echo the tale of the three living and the three dead, and Timothy Husband calls the page one of the most enigmatic in the manuscript. Behind the cross a man raises his hand toward a tablet with nothing on it.
