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 goes barefoot, and at every step the wood hanging from His waist bites. The Web Gallery of Art's commentary points to those spike-studded blocks, cutting His feet and ankles as He walks, and to the grimacing soldiers packed round Him, one with a toad on his shield. Below, Hieronymus Bosch parts the two thieves. Soldiers torment the bad thief. The good thief kneels to confess to a priest, an anachronism Bosch probably took from executions he had seen, and the commentary sets his open mouth against the priest, who seems to suppress a yawn. Above them the Cross keeps moving, and Christ under it.

And bearing his own cross, he went forth to the place which is called Calvary, but in Hebrew Golgotha.
