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

Our Lady looks up, and no one else does. Cleveland's reading turns on that: the focus is on Mary, who alone is aware of the angels fluttering overhead with ribbons that carry the Gloria, "Glory to God in the highest: and on earth peace to men of good will." Saint Joseph and the shepherds stolidly regard the Christ Child. The museum finds in her face love, pride and humility at once. Bernardo Cavallino worked in Naples, little known in his lifetime, transforming his contemporaries' innovations with extraordinary delicacy. He signed on the ox, a BC monogram on its rump. Her hand stays on her heart.
