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
Four small angels, the National Gallery of Art's description says, catch the blood in golden chalices. Our Lady sinks at the foot of the Cross, held by the women beside her. By the thief on the left an angel lifts a man no bigger than a doll; by the other, a demon holds one out. The Museum of the Bible reads them as the two thieves' souls, one received, one snatched. A bearded rider touches his eye and red rays leave the lid; some say, the Golden Legend reports, that Longinus was blind until the blood from the spear reached his eyes. Far off under the gold sky Christ rides a donkey toward the city, and a man hangs from a tree with a scarlet bag at his neck: Judas. The Master of the Death of Saint Nicholas of Münster leaves nothing off this hill, not the rope.

But one of the soldiers with a spear opened his side: and immediately there came out blood and water.
