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
Saint Augustine holds his own heart in his left hand, and it is on fire. The light he turns toward is a word, VERITAS, burning in the corner; the quill is still in his other hand, and books and a scroll lie at his feet. The heart is his by his own sentence in the Confessions: You had penetrated our hearts with Your charity. Philippe de Champaigne painted him around 1645, when Jansen's Augustinus had France quarrelling over Augustine on grace; the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Caen puts the painter's turn to Port-Royal in those same years, and his daughter took the veil there. Truth is written; the heart answers.
