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
The Christ Child reaches up and takes a fold of His Mother's veil in His fingers. Five angels hold the cloth of honour behind them, a habit of the painters of Rimini. Miklós Boskovits reads the grasped veil as an allusion to the Passion, and the insect in the Child's lap, drawn large, as a locust, the Baptist's food in the wilderness; Giovanni Baronzio set this throne at the centre of an altarpiece for Saint John the Baptist, flanked by his story. Small lions on the armrests recall, for Boskovits, Solomon's throne. Its church is unknown. One small hand is on the Passion, the other on the desert.
