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.

About this painting

A loaf lies on the cloth and a broken one on the dish, and Christ's right hand is raised above them in blessing. Two disciples lean in from the dark; the innkeeper stands, and an old woman brings a plate. The Pinacoteca di Brera sets this supper beside the earlier London version and finds greater intimacy, a plainer palette, and an almost theatrical light underscoring the sacred nature of the moment. Its room text has the figures welling up from a dark ground under a warm light from an unseen source. Caravaggio painted it, Brera says, probably at Paliano, after killing Ranuccio Tomassoni. The bread is still on the table.

And it came to pass, whilst he was at table with them, he took bread and blessed and brake and gave to them.
