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 kneels before Christ on His throne and bows her head, and all of heaven stands in rows to watch a crown come down from His hands. No Gospel tells this. The National Gallery of Art traces the image to her bodily Assumption, recalled from the fourth century and defined as dogma by Pius XII in 1950. Fra Angelico painted it for the Observant Dominican church at Fiesole, and Patricia Rubin reads the ranked court of heaven as chosen to argue that young observance's standing. The Louvre records gold lettering on the books held by John the Evangelist, Dominic and Thomas Aquinas. They came to a crowning carrying their pages.
