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

A swarm of demons hauls Saint Anthony into the air, all horns, beaks and clubs. The sky is theirs for an hour. Below, the ground keeps its ordinary weight: an old hermit holds a limp man in his arms beside a pig and two lions, and a crowned woman in red stands at the left. Maerten de Vos painted it in 1594 for Martin Delafaylle and Roger Clarysse, deans of the St Anthony confraternity, for their chapel in the Church of Our Lady in Antwerp, as the KMSKA records. At the right a demon in a funnel hat holds up a sheet as if to read from it.
