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
Jerome kneels with his hand at his breast; the National Gallery says he strikes it with a stone. His cardinal's hat and red robe lie in the grass before him. On a small T-shaped cross of branches, Susan Foister notes, Christ hangs at so acute an angle that His head is hidden, and she reads the white loincloth's colouring as a vision of real presence. Albrecht Dürer painted both sides of the pearwood. The bare back bursts red from a yellow oval; Christof Metzger reads it as the Holy Spirit, a thunderbolt, striking the saint's heart. On the front he strikes; on the back he is struck.
