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

God the Father wears a pope's crown and holds His dead Son upright, the white cloth falling to the clouds. Above them the Holy Spirit, as a dove, hangs in a clearing of light. The Cleveland Museum of Art reads the purple tiara as deliberate: made in Antwerp, the center of religious learning in Catholic Flanders, the work stresses the pope's role as God's true representative on earth. Hendrik van Balen rings all three with angels carrying the instruments of the Passion; two kneel with censers. On the clasp of the Father's cape stands a small Saint Barbara, which the museum takes as a clue to a chapel dedicated to her.
