Padre, Whether or not you can have a postcard sized picture enlarged, retaining its quality, depends very much on the quality of the original postcard print. Generally for fine art prints these are pretty good. From 5 x 8 to 15 x 21 isn't that big a stretch, and you might get reasonable results. But you need to have someone (a professional someone) photograph the postcard, photographically enlarge it to the size you want and then digitally touch up the enlargement. It won't be perfect (and I believe the original was missing the burning faggots, of course), but it will be a reasonable representation; perhaps as good as the cheaper sort of art print. Seattle/Tacoma should have someone who can do this kind of work for you. The picture really says it all, doesn't it?

Fr Steve:
Where's the painting hanging? Five will get you thirteen that a call to the museum owning the painting will result in a source for a larger print. If you've already tried that please don't take this bet!

I dinked around the net trying to determine at which museum "The Schism" is hanging ... without success. Anyone know how one tracks down the location of a painting?

Brilliant! The King County Library System has an on-line reference desk for members ... isn't that space-age and cool? I'll refer the request to the reference librarian and watch my tax dollars at work. Thanks!

Heh. Nice one, tsuwm, said she, a volunteer at her local library.
Fr Steve, be prepared to learn that your painting is in a private collection.

Have I ever sung to you my rhapsody to reference librarians? I think they are like philosopher kings in their value to a society. I think that the rule oughta be that reference librarians' salaries are indexed to the average of (1) U.S. Senators, (2) NBA basketball players and (3) rock musicians ... since they are clearly more valuable to society than any of those three categories.
And people who volunteer at the local library get a LOT of time off from Purgatory, at least in my cosmology.

Oh, sure. Send my property taxes through the roof. How bout if U.S. Senators', NBA basketball players' and rock musicians' salaries are indexed to the average of reference librarians' salaries?
