The ticket

Warwick Castle is a painting by Canaletto (Giovanni Antonio Canal) (Italian, Venice 1697–1768 Venice), dated 1748. Oil on canvas. Size on the museum record: 16 7/8 × 28 1/4 in. (42.9 × 71.8 cm). The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds it in its European Paintings collection — Bequest of Mrs. Charles Wrightsman, 2019.

The Met released its scan under CC0, which means no permission, no fee and no credit line required. That file is 3,321 × 2,010 pixels — 6.7 megapixels — good for a gallery-sharp print up to 11.1 × 6.7 in. The painting itself measures about 28.3 × 16.9 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.
