Two compositions of this painting. They are different images, not one image rotated.

Heaven & the New Jerusalem

Jesus Welcoming Children at Heaven's Gate

Jesus, smiling with an open hand, welcomes children and families toward a golden gate. The arch is inscribed "Tribe of Judah", the gate-posts carry the names of the tribes of Israel, and a gold plaque reads "The Gate - Psalm 100:4 | John 10:9". Angels stand watch, one beside the Book of Life, and a dove glows above a city of gold set among clouds. A staircase of jewels climbs to a great pearl.

The scene draws on the gates of the New Jerusalem and on Jesus' welcome of children. Text painted into the artwork (the plaque, the arch and the tribe names) is part of the image and must never be cropped or retouched without approval.

About the file

What this file can honestly print

Measured from the real master files. Effective resolution is an upper bound (it assumes the print matches the image shape; a crop lowers it). Around 150 dpi and above looks good at normal wall distance, and 240 and above is excellent.

Ideal canvas sizes

This painting is a wide panorama (16:9). For a canvas with nothing cut off, order one of the exact-fit sizes - most online canvas printers accept custom sizes. Standard sizes work too but trim the edges. The $29 Personal file is 4,500 px wide, so it suits smaller canvases; the Large-Format and Church files are full resolution.

Gallery-wrapped canvas folds about 1.5 in around each edge; choose the printer's "mirror" wrap so the painting itself stays on the front. Keep faces and painted lettering away from the edges.

Shapes and crops

Aspect-ratio versions

Aspect-ratio versions: crop plan only. No cropped versions are included for this painting. Large-Format delivers the full-resolution file uncropped: 10,032 x 5,646 (horizontal) and 5,646 x 10,032 (vertical). Standard 3:2 or 4:3 crops would cut the painted tribe plates at the edges, so crops are made only with the artist's approval. Any crop that cuts painted text or faces needs the artist's approval first.
