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.

All editionsAbout this painting
Out of thirty-nine scenes, the chapel's own custodians name two for their feeling — the tenderness of a kiss at the Golden Gate, and this: the despair of the weeping mothers. Herod gives the order from a balcony at the upper left and the soldiers carry it out below him, and Giotto puts the whole weight of the picture on the women. Matthew ends the passage by quoting Jeremiah: Rachel refusing to be comforted.
Then Herod perceiving that he was deluded by the wise men, was exceeding angry: and sending killed all the menchildren that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.
Matthew 2:16 · Douay-Rheims (Challoner)
