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.
| Frame | Effective dpi | Verdict | Crops |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 × 10 in | 370 | Gallery sharp | 7% |
| 11 × 14 in | 269 | Sharp up close | 6% |

| 16 × 20 in | 185 | Poster sharp | 7% |
| 18 × 24 in | 164 | Poster sharp | 1% |

The ticket
Tahitian Landscape is a painting by Paul Gauguin (French, Paris 1848–1903 Atuona, Hiva Oa, Marquesas Islands), dated 1892. Oil on canvas. Size on the museum record: 25 3/8 x 18 5/8 in. (64.5 x 47.3 cm). The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds it in its European Paintings collection — Anonymous Gift, 1939.
The Met released its scan under CC0, which means no permission, no fee and no credit line required. That file is 2,963 × 4,000 pixels — 11.9 megapixels — good for a gallery-sharp print up to 9.9 × 13.3 in. The painting itself measures about 18.6 × 25.4 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.
