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
A sheaf of wheat lies on the stone beneath the body of Christ, and the J. Paul Getty Museum reads it plainly: it “stands for the bread used in communion, which represents Jesus’s body.” The stone slab, the museum adds, looks like an altar, and the canvas was probably made to hang above an altar in a small church chapel. Saint John the Evangelist, in a bright red robe, holds up the heavy body. Behind him Saint Mary Magdalene weeps with her hand to her face; at the right another Mary bends over the pierced hand. Our Lady lifts her eyes to heaven, tears on her cheek and her hands on her Son's arm, and the wound in His side is still bleeding. Rubens painted it about 1612 and, the Getty says, “wanted people looking at this painting to feel like they were really there.” The wheat is laid out for us.

Now there was in the place where he was crucified a garden: and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein no man yet had been laid.
