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

Christ hangs against a checkerboard of gold, and the ransom of the whole world is paid on a leaf smaller than a hand. Our Lady, haloed, in gold, sinks at the left, held from behind. The Cleveland Museum of Art gives this leaf to the Master of Guillebert de Mets and his workshop, named for the scribe of a Decameron made for Philip the Good of Burgundy, and singles out his mosaic backgrounds of delicately worked checkered patterns, naming this Crucifixion as one. The museum lists his other marks: prominent heads, small mouths, slender torsos, thin spindly legs, long finely worked fingers. Look at the fingers opened on the wood.

And it was the third hour: and they crucified him.
