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.

About this painting

Twelve angels, and no two stand alike: hands folded, hands crossed on the breast, a hand raised, and two at the front turned from us toward the throne. Our Lady sits under a canopy built like a small Gothic church, the Christ Child on her lap, and the gold goes on behind all of them. The Städel reads the work as made for private devotion and for connoisseurs, and draws attention to the careful perspective of that canopy. It measures 37.5 by 29.7 centimetres, and the museum has owned it since 1831. Fra Angelico fitted the whole court of heaven into a space two open hands could hold.
