Drag the print to move it. The painting is shown at true scale; where its shape differs from the sheet the print has a paper border, not drawn here. Prints are sold unframed, and a frame here is only for planning.

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 eagle is a falcon. Hieronymus Bosch gave Saint John's bird the form he knew better, the Gemäldegalerie says, and set it to guard the pen and inkpot at the saint's feet while a demon in spectacles, a burning ball on its head, reaches for them with an iron rake. John sees none of it. Pen in hand, book open on his knee, he looks up past an angel on the hill to the pale sun, where Our Lady, the woman of the Apocalypse, sits on the crescent moon with the Christ Child, crowned with stars. Out on the water the ships burn. The pen keeps moving.
And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
Apocalypse 12:1 · Douay-Rheims (Challoner)
