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
Christ kneels on a shelf of rock above three sleeping men, and the answer to His prayer comes through the air: five cherubs on a cloud hold up the instruments of His torture and death. "And going a little further, he fell upon his face, praying and saying: My Father, if it be possible, let this chalice pass from me. Nevertheless, not as I will but as thou wilt." The National Gallery notes the cherubs look too heavy for their cloud, and likens the rock before Christ to an altar, complete with cross. A fig sapling has burst through the stone above the disciples; the Gallery ties it to the legend that Judas chose a fig tree for his gallows. The disciples lie like toppled Roman statues. Down the road, Andrea Mantegna brings Judas out of the city gates with soldiers. They are already on the path.
And going a little further, he fell upon his face, praying and saying: My Father, if it be possible, let this chalice pass from me. Nevertheless, not as I will but as thou wilt.
Matthew 26:39 · Douay-Rheims (Challoner)
