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

Christ bows His head under the thorns, and no blow has landed yet. One man grips His hair and a bundle of switches; another crouches at the floor. The Capodimonte describes Christ and His tormentors frozen as if in a photographic snapshot, preparing the torment with sober, essential gestures, coming forward out of near-total darkness in which the column He is tied to is only glimpsed. A strong light searches out their natural details; what it stresses above all, the museum says, is the human side of the drama. Caravaggio painted it in 1607 for San Domenico Maggiore in Naples. The dark waits for the first stroke.

Then therefore Pilate took Jesus and scourged him.
