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 isWheat Field with Cypresses, at 4,000 × 3,184 pixels: enough for a 13.3 × 10.6 in print at 300 dpi, or 26.7 × 21.2 in at poster sharpness.

The Met flags 6 of these as a collection highlight: Corridor in the Asylum, Irises, Madame Roulin and Her Baby, Road in Etten, Self-Portrait with a Straw Hat (obverse: The Potato Peeler) and Wheat Field with Cypresses.

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.

House specials

Vincent van Gogh also has 4 hand-written pages on the main board: The Starry Night, Sunflowers, Café Terrace at Night, The Bedroom.
