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

Three crosses stand over a crowd of spears, and on the middle one hangs Christ. The National Gallery of Art finds the lance in His side held by a rider on a white horse, and counts more than two dozen people below. "But one of the soldiers with a spear opened his side: and immediately there came out blood and water." At the lower left, in navy blue, Our Lady has fainted to the ground; two kneeling women hold her up, while another woman and a cleanshaven man stand over her with their fingers laced. Luca Signorelli may have painted it for the main altar of Sant'Agostino in Matelica, a hypothesis first raised by Mario Salmi and taken up by Laurence Kanter. Over all of them the spears go on rising, and the Cross rises higher.
