Van Gogh’s heaped grapes — purple and pale green — with lemons, pears and apples, the whole table churning on a ground of blue and violet strokes. Painted in Paris the year the palette caught fire; the grape gets the same electric treatment as any of his skies. A faithful reproduction of a public-domain painting at The Art Institute of Chicago. The tablecloth is painted in as many colours as the fruit — nothing here is allowed to sit still. Everything in the glass begins as something this alive.

Before a size goes on sale, the file is measured against it: pixels per inch at that size, how much of the picture a crop would lose, tone and sharpness. A size that fails is not offered, so there is nothing to choose wrong.
