Sizes

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 stands barefoot on His own tomb, the banner in His hand, the lid knocked aslant below Him, and the guards lie where they fell in their bright armour. No evangelist saw this. London's National Gallery says it flatly: no Gospel writer describes Christ standing on His tomb. Matthew gives guards who became as dead men, and women who find the stone rolled back. Benvenuto di Giovanni painted it beneath the Ascension he signed in 1491 for Sant'Eugenio outside Siena, and when the altarpiece was moved, the Kress Foundation notes, its predella was divided among the monks' cells. The rising no one saw hung on a monk's wall.
