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
A gold reliquary crosses the square among men in white, and what it holds, in Letha Ch'ien's account, is a fragment of the True Cross, the treasure of the Scuola Grande di San Giovanni Evangelista. The brothers cross the foreground like a classical frieze, she writes, with the heavy candlesticks that were among their largest expenses. San Marco stands behind them in gold. Ch'ien names a kneeling man in the crowd as Jacopo de' Salis, a merchant from Brescia who came home to find his son recovered the day of the procession. Gentile Bellini sets the whole city behind one father's prayer.
