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.

About this painting

Through the open eye of the dome comes the only light there is, a circle of blue sky and cloud, and it falls as a bright patch on the far wall. Below the coffers the words run round the drum: Laudate Dominum in sanctis eius, laus eius in ecclesia sanctorum, praise ye the Lord in his holy places, his praise in the church of the saints. Giovanni Paolo Panini filled the Roman floor with the Rome of his own day: a lady in orange silk and one in blue, two men in pale habits, a kneeling figure at the right, a gentleman in red, and statues of saints in the niches between the columns. The National Gallery of Art records the picture at about 1734, in the Kress Collection since 1939, and notes that Hadrian's temple survived whole because it was consecrated as a Christian church in 609. The house of all the gods is Santa Maria ad Martyres now. The door stands open to the square, and the church is still there.
