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
A blade goes into her breast, and she looks up, past the man who holds it. The Metropolitan Museum notes that the sword through the breast is Justina's own attribute in art, so the killing names her. On the stone at the lower left lies a small gold crown. Kelsey Rozema of the Milwaukee Art Museum tells the legend: a daughter of the royal house of Padua who refused to worship Mars, god of war, and she reads the crown set aside as earthly rank exchanged for heaven's. Italy's state catalogue records the executioner and bystanders in contemporary dress, and notes that restoration settled old doubts that Veronese painted it himself. Cardinal Leopoldo de' Medici bought the canvas in 1675, and the Uffizi hung it in the Tribuna, the room built to keep Francesco I's jewels, until 1769. Her open hand reaches toward the crown and leaves it there.
