How big can you print it?
Standard frame sizes, turned to match the artwork. "Crops" is how much of the picture you lose filling that frame edge to edge — or keep it all and let a mat take up the difference.

The ticket
Campo Sant'Angelo, Venice is a painting by Canaletto (Giovanni Antonio Canal) (Italian, Venice 1697–1768 Venice), dated 1730s. Oil on canvas. Size on the museum record: 18 3/8 x 30 1/2 in. (46.7 x 77.5 cm). The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds it in its European Paintings collection — Bequest of Mrs. Charles Wrightsman, 2019.
The Met released its scan under CC0, which means no permission, no fee and no credit line required. That file is 4,000 × 2,431 pixels — 9.7 megapixels — good for a gallery-sharp print up to 13.3 × 8.1 in. The painting itself measures about 30.5 × 18.4 in, so a true life-size print runs below 300 dpi — still sharp at normal viewing distance.Paintings reproduce best on matte paper. Gloss throws glare across exactly the brushwork you came for, and a picture light does more for a print than any upgrade in paper.
