What is dpi?
Dots per inch: how many pixels of the museum’s file go into each inch of paper. Our floor is 240 for sheets up to 20 inches, 180 up to 36 inches and 120 beyond, because a larger print is seen from further away. We never offer a sheet below the floor, and the number on each size is the one you receive.

All editionsAbout this painting
A pagan poet's line lies across a red skirt, beneath Our Lady, crowned, and the bare Christ Child. The woman at the left lets her ribbon fall there, one of a crowd of grave faces carrying words, and the KMSKA transcribes it: AM NOVA PROGENIES CELO. The line is Virgil's, from the Fourth Eclogue, which the Loeb renders as a new generation descending from heaven on high, just after the Virgin returns. The Princeton Dante Project notes that Dante took that Virgin for Astraea, Justice, and that the verse needed little rearranging to become a Christian prophecy. Ambrosius Benson letters the pagan's hope low, and sets its answer above.
