Reading the board

Each card shows the largest print the Met's file makes at 300 dpi without cropping — that's the sharpness you'd want for something you'll stand close to. The biggest file in this set isThe Vision of Saint John, at 3,557 × 4,000 pixels: enough for a 11.9 × 13.3 in print at 300 dpi, or 23.7 × 26.7 in at poster sharpness.

The Met flags 4 of these as a collection highlight: Cardinal Fernando Niño de Guevara (1541–1609), Christ Carrying the Cross, Saint Jerome as Scholar and View of Toledo.

Every page has a size chart against standard frames, the museum record, and the frame and light that make a print look like it cost more than it did. The file itself is free. It always was.
