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 camel waits at the right, harnessed, while the sky tears open above a square. Men carry a dead body across the stones, and all around them people run for the arcades or lie flat. Tintoretto painted the saving of Saint Mark's body between 1562 and 1566, and the Gallerie dell'Accademia reads the storm as the miracle itself: hail breaking over the persecutors so that the faithful could take the body from the pyre. The camel beside the woodpile marks the place as Alexandria. Yet the museum finds the deep perspective perhaps inspired by Piazza San Marco, its porticoes recalling Sansovino, and Letha Ch'ien reads the square as Venice's own, the body already carried toward the basilica that will hold it. The Accademia records that the original pyre was painted over with archways when the canvas was trimmed for the Biblioteca Marciana. The body keeps moving toward home.
