image 12.5×8.3 in on a 14×11 in sheet
The museum’s file supports 11×14 in at 312 dpi; a larger sheet would fall below our floor.
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
Christ stands at the centre of the circle and does not raise His voice; His open hand is enough. The collector who came for the temple tax stands with his back to us, and the twelve close in around Him, heavy as stone. Bruce Cole, writing for Britannica, finds in these figures a monumentality and seriousness unknown before them. The light falls from the upper right, as the chapel's own window lights the wall. At the right edge of the group, a man in a pink-red mantle has long been taken for Masaccio himself; the Innsbruck catalogue records that this is still argued. Peter has his orders: go to the sea.

But that we may not scandalize them, go to the sea, and cast in a hook: and that fish which shall first come up, take: and when thou hast opened it's mouth, thou shalt find a stater: take that, and give it to them for me and thee.
Matthew 17:26 · Douay-Rheims (Challoner)
