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 sits in blue with His eyes covered, and the fists come up around Him; one man goes down on one knee before Him. A high priest in white looks on. The Met's commentary points to a flaw the Limbourg brothers let stand: the slender side columns stand in front of the nearest figures, while the arcade they carry seems to run behind the whole scene. When the book is bound this page faces the Flagellation, and the Met reads the similar settings and gestures of the two scenes as deliberate, chosen to unify the opening. The room will not hold still; He does.

And platting a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand. And bowing the knee before him, they mocked him, saying: Hail, King of the Jews.
