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 stone in one hand, the other at his breast, Saint Jerome kneels to the crucifix in open country. Jerome wrote his own account of these years: alone in the desert, with scorpions and wild beasts for company, he cried aloud all night and did not stop beating his breast. His letter has no stone in it, and no lion. Cima da Conegliano gives him both: the lion lies under the cave mouth, and a black snake slides from a crevice at the foot of the cross. The lion limps in later, with the thirteenth-century Golden Legend, a thorn in its paw. The breast-beating is Jerome's own.
