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
Round her halo runs the angel's greeting, Ave Maria gratia plena, and it breaks off at Do. The words were spoken at the Annunciation; the Christ Child they announced already lies across her lap, arms lifted, looking up. Our Lady crosses her hands on her breast. Two angels hold up a cloth of red, gold and black that falls behind and under her. The National Gallery of Art explains the type elsewhere: a Madonna of Humility sits on the ground rather than a throne, perhaps humus for humilitas, a convention introduced in the 1340s, apparently by Simone Martini. Fra Angelico painted her about 1430; the title says where she sits.
