The ticket

The Garden of the Tuileries on a Winter Afternoon is a painting by Camille Pissarro (French, Charlotte Amalie, Saint Thomas 1830–1903 Paris), dated 1899. Oil on canvas. Size on the museum record: 28 7/8 x 36 3/8 in. (73.3 x 92.4 cm). The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds it in its European Paintings collection — Gift from the Collection of Marshall Field III, 1979.

The Met catalogs The Garden of the Tuileries on a Winter Afternoon as an oil on canvas by Camille Pissarro. The museum dates it 1899; it sits in the European Paintings department as accession 1979.414. The subject is a view, and the eye travels from the foreground to the distance; give it wall space so that route stays readable. The Met's scan measures 4,000 × 3,184 pixels, which prints about 13.3 × 10.6 in at 300 dpi and 26.7 × 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. 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. 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 4,000 × 3,184 pixels — 12.7 megapixels — good for a gallery-sharp print up to 13.3 × 10.6 in. The painting itself measures about 36.4 × 28.9 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.
