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 bag of gold, a door, a crucifix in a high window: the man in the bed has three things left to look at. The National Gallery of Art reads these as the miser's last moments before his eternal fate is decided: a small demon holds up the gold, an angel kneels at his shoulder and gestures to the crucifix, and a demon's lantern of Hell's fire is set against the single ray of light from the cross. At the foot of the bed Hieronymus Bosch puts, the museum suggests, the same man earlier in life, dropping coins into a strongbox, a rosary at his belt. The ray still falls.

No man can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one, and love the other: or he will sustain the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
Matthew 6:24 · Douay-Rheims (Challoner)
