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
A gold bowl in one woman's hands, bare feet on the stone, and the door of the grave standing open. They came to anoint a body, and there is no body to anoint. Behind the rock an angel stands in a wash of light, one arm raised. The KMSKA tells it in order: the women find the tomb open and empty, an angel tells them Jesus is risen, and they tremble with fright, beside themselves with grief. William-Adolphe Bouguereau took the dead Cabanel's seat at the Antwerp Academy in 1890, and chose this canvas for the city's 1894 world's fair. The errand is over before the news arrives.

Who saith to them: Be not affrighted. you seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen: he is not here. Behold the place where they laid him.
