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

Two angels blow long trumpets across an open sky, and the grass below fills with naked bodies. Above them Christ sits on a cloud in a red mantle, one hand raised and one held out. The Metropolitan Museum of Art says these angels link heaven and earth; that Christ blesses the saved at lower left while Saint Michael shepherds the damned into a hell burning in the distance at the right; that the nudes reflect Joos van Cleve's study of prints after Raphael; and that the figure of Christ seems inspired by the ancient Laocoon. Between the two crowds a winged figure with a sword stands alone on the field.

And all nations shall be gathered together before him: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats:
