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
Saint Lucy stands on the pyre with her hands joined, and the executioner has put his sword through her throat. Men fan the flames with bellows, and the officials at the left look on. Behind her the Rijksmuseum traces the rest of her story across the hills: Lucy brought before the brothel, the oxen set to drag her away, a priest bringing her the last sacraments, the beheading of Paschasius. M. Leeflang's catalogue entry makes this the outer left wing of an altarpiece made for her; its back once carried a Deposition, and the centre and the other wing are probably lost. The Master of the Figdor Deposition, active in Haarlem or Amsterdam, painted it about 1505 to 1510, and the museum bought it in 1897 with the help of the Vereniging Rembrandt. A faint halo rings her bowed head above the fire.
