Drag the print to move it. The painting is shown at true scale; where its shape differs from the sheet the print has a paper border, not drawn here. Prints are sold unframed, and a frame here is only for planning.

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
Saint Dominic holds the beads out over the crowd, and the hands come up to meet them. Dermot Morrin OP notes that elsewhere Our Lady hands Dominic the rosary; here she gives an order and he hands it on, the Dominican motto, contemplata aliis tradere. The poor, he says, are reaching hands more than faces. The Kunsthistorisches Museum has the kneeling donor in his ruff inviting us to shelter with Dominic too. Antwerp painters, Rubens among them, bought Caravaggio's canvas for their Dominican church; in 1781 it went to the Emperor Joseph II. Above them all the Christ Child stands in His Mother's arm, looking out.
