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 folds her hands and bows her head; nothing is given her to hold. The dark gives way to a faint light around her, and the National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo, notes that her blue robe is made of deep lapis lazuli. The museum dates it around 1655, when Carlo Dolci was 39, and traces the folded hands to the Madonnas of Titian. On the back of the canvas the prayer is written out: REGINA MARTIRUM ORA PRO NOBIS, Queen of Martyrs, pray for us. No cross is in the frame, only her hands. The words on the back are yours to say.
