The ticket

Steamboats in the Port of Rouen is a painting by Camille Pissarro (French, Charlotte Amalie, Saint Thomas 1830–1903 Paris), dated 1896. Oil on canvas. Size on the museum record: 18 x 21 1/2 in. (45.7 x 54.6 cm). The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds it in its European Paintings collection — Gift of Arthur J. Neumark, 1958.

In The Met's records, Steamboats in the Port of Rouen is an oil on canvas credited to Camille Pissarro. The museum dates it 1896 (accession 58.133, European Paintings). The subject is water and weather, so the sky-to-sea balance carries the picture; keep the horizon level when you hang it. The Met's scan measures 3,801 × 3,186 pixels, which prints about 12.7 × 10.6 in at 300 dpi and 25.3 × 21.2 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. It is close to monochrome, so the frame sets the mood: black for contrast, white for air, or a thin natural wood for warmth. Paintings reproduce best on matte paper, since gloss throws glare across exactly the brushwork you came for. Light it from above with a soft warm bulb, hang the centre of the picture near 57 inches, and it will read as intended instead of as decoration.

The Met released its scan under CC0, which means no permission, no fee and no credit line required. That file is 3,801 × 3,186 pixels — 12.1 megapixels — good for a gallery-sharp print up to 12.7 × 10.6 in. The painting itself measures about 21.5 × 18 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.
