The ticket

Peace and Plenty is a painting by George Inness (American, Newburgh, New York 1825–1894 Bridge of Allan, Scotland), dated 1865. Oil on canvas. Size on the museum record: 77 5/8 x 112 3/8 in. (197.2 x 285.4 cm). The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds it in its The American Wing collection — Gift of George A. Hearn, 1894.

Peace and Plenty is an oil on canvas by George Inness, part of The Met's open-access collection. The museum dates it 1865; it sits in the The American Wing department as accession 94.27. People are the subject, and the grouping and gestures matter more than any single face; avoid cropping the edges. The Met's scan measures 3,933 × 2,717 pixels, which prints about 13.1 × 9.1 in at 300 dpi and 26.2 × 18.1 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 golden tones pair naturally with a gold or walnut frame, or go black for a sharper, more modern contrast. Paintings reproduce best on matte paper, since gloss throws glare across exactly the brushwork you came for. A warm picture light a few inches above the frame does more for a print than any paper upgrade, and the hanging centre line belongs near 57 inches.

The Met released its scan under CC0, which means no permission, no fee and no credit line required. That file is 3,933 × 2,717 pixels — 10.7 megapixels — good for a gallery-sharp print up to 13.1 × 9.1 in. The painting itself measures about 112.4 × 77.6 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.
