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.

The ticket
View of the Seacoast near Wargemont in Normandy is a painting by Auguste Renoir (French, Limoges 1841–1919 Cagnes-sur-Mer), dated 1880. Oil on canvas. Size on the museum record: 19 7/8 x 24 1/2 in. (50.5 x 62.2 cm). The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds it in its European Paintings collection — Bequest of Julia W. Emmons, 1956.
The Met released its scan under CC0, which means no permission, no fee and no credit line required. That file is 3,865 × 3,167 pixels — 12.2 megapixels — good for a gallery-sharp print up to 12.9 × 10.6 in. The painting itself measures about 24.5 × 19.9 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.
