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
Our Lady stands on a pedestal, the Child on her arm and a book in her hand, and two small angels cling at her knees. Vasari called the creatures carved on the pedestal harpies, and the name stuck; the Uffizi's Monica Alderotti reads them as the locusts of the Apocalypse, with women's heads and bellies like iron breastplates, come up from the abyss. Saint John stands aside with his book, author of that prophecy; opposite, Saint Francis holds a cross, the saint Bonaventure identified with the angel of the sixth seal. On her reading the pedestal is the mouth of Hell. Andrea del Sarto stands her on it.
