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 small crown comes down onto the Virgin's head from the hand of Christ, enthroned beside her, and she folds her arms across her breast. Angels play on either side; the Kress Collection names a lute, a tambourine, a lira da braccio and cymbals. Below, the Denver Art Museum identifies Saint John the Baptist, one hand held out, and Saint John the Evangelist with his book. Kress and Cavallini to Veronese both record it cut down, the lower register lost, and Cavallini finds its earliest modern record at a Christie's sale in London in 1937. Domenico Ghirlandaio's heaven still hums over a flat blue country.
