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
The lion sleeps on the floorboards with the dog beside him, and neither minds the other. Above them Jerome bends to his slanted writing table, and the room holds two lights: the sun through the round panes of the windows, and the light of his halo. The Met's curators find the two in perfect equilibrium, with the room's recurring horizontals adding to its repose. Of Albrecht Dürer's three Meisterstiche, the Met calls this the one whose interpretation seems most straightforward: Jerome, translator of the Vulgate and model of the Christian scholar, at work in a study of Dürer's own day. A skull rests on the sill. The hourglass keeps running.
