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
Six angels kneel in the gold, three on each side, and between them they hold up a carved wooden throne; the Uffizi says they seem to be suspended in the void. On it Our Lady sits in a dark mantle edged with a gold thread that winds down to her feet, a star on her veil and another at her shoulder. The Christ Child sits on her knee in white, a rich red cloth woven with gold around His hips, and lifts His right hand toward her; the museum reads the gesture as a blessing. The Florentine confraternity of the Compagnia dei Laudesi commissioned the Maestà from the Sienese painter Duccio di Buoninsegna in 1285; its members met in the church of Santa Maria Novella “to sing the praises of the Virgin.” The name Rucellai, the Uffizi says, comes from the chapel of the Rucellai family in that church, where the Maestà hung at the end of the sixteenth century. The confraternity came to sing and the angels kneel to bear her up, and Mother and Son look past them both, at us.
