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
At the right edge men kneel over a cloth on the ground and throw dice. Above them a thief is hauled up on a rope, a ladder leans against the Cross, and Christ hangs at the centre with His head bowed; at His feet Our Lady has fallen in a faint, held by the women around her. The Gallerie dell'Accademia describes Tintoretto's scene, of about 1555, as banked at the left by the centurion, his standard shaken by the wind, and at the right by soldiers throwing dice for Christ's garments, with a choir of figures behind them, bathed in light and painted fast. John says they cast lots rather than tear the coat, woven whole from the top; Cyprian of Carthage read that seamless coat as the unity of the Church, which may not be torn. The dicers keep it whole without knowing what they keep.
