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

A finger goes to a wound, and belief comes in through the skin. Christ draws His own garment aside and looks down at the place; a man in red bends in with his forefinger at the opening, and an old man in spectacles leans close, his hand out, near enough to count the knuckles. Two more faces crowd in behind. The Rijksmuseum notes that Thomas's doubts were dispelled only when he had seen and touched the wounds in Christ's side and hands himself, and that Hendrick ter Brugghen, emulating his great model Caravaggio, gave Christ and His followers craggy faces and wrinkled, rough hands. Working hands, all of them, gathered at a door in a body. John ends the story with a blessing on everyone who will never do what Thomas did, which is nearly everyone who has ever lived, and you.

Then he said to Thomas: Put in thy finger hither and see my hands. And bring hither the hand and put it into my side. And be not faithless, but believing.

John 20:27 · Douay-Rheims (Challoner)
