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
Abraham's hand rests on Isaac's head; the other holds the knife low. An angel looks up into the old man's face, and beside the angel waits a ram. Sotheby's catalogue reads the light as falling almost only on what saves: the angel's face, the ram, the pyre, Abraham's hands. Genesis 22:12 stops the hand laid on the son. Found again in 1987, the canvas carried Caravaggio's name for years on Mina Gregori's word; Bologna proposed Bartolomeo Cavarozzi in 1992, and Spear and Papi followed. Genesis put a ram in the son's place. The catalogue put a follower in the master's.

And he said to him: Lay not thy hand upon the boy, neither do thou any thing to him: now I know that thou fearest God, and hast not spared thy only begotten son for my sake.
