The ticket

Honfleur: Calvary is a painting by Camille Corot (French, Paris 1796–1875 Paris), dated ca. 1830. Oil on wood. Size on the museum record: 11 3/4 x 16 1/8 in. (29.8 x 41 cm). The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds it in its European Paintings collection — Purchase, Mr. and Mrs. Richard J. Bernhard Gift, by exchange, 1974.

The Met catalogs Honfleur: Calvary as an oil on wood by Camille Corot. The museum dates it ca. 1830; it sits in the European Paintings department as accession 1974.3. People are the subject, and the grouping and gestures matter more than any single face; avoid cropping the edges. The Met's scan measures 3,811 × 2,784 pixels, which prints about 12.7 × 9.3 in at 300 dpi and 25.4 × 18.6 in at a still-comfortable 150 dpi. Because it runs wide, it wants a horizontal frame; check the crop percentage for each size before you commit. Its muted earth tones are forgiving: natural wood softens the palette, walnut deepens it and black frames it like a gallery. Paintings reproduce best on matte paper, since gloss throws glare across exactly the brushwork you came for. Add a small picture light and keep the centre of the piece around 57 inches from the floor; those two choices make a reproduction look deliberate.

The Met released its scan under CC0, which means no permission, no fee and no credit line required. That file is 3,811 × 2,784 pixels — 10.6 megapixels — good for a gallery-sharp print up to 12.7 × 9.3 in. The painting itself measures about 16.1 × 11.7 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.
