Drag the print to move it. The painting is shown at true scale; where its shape differs from the sheet the print has a paper border, not drawn here. Prints are sold unframed, and a frame here is only for planning.

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 lies on the bier, and those around her have come close enough to hold the cloth. The Staatliche Museen zu Berlin read Giotto's scene as her falling asleep, funeral, burial and assumption fused into one rite of remembrance. Berlin names its parts: Peter reciting from the psalms, Andrew in green with the aspergillum, an angel blowing into a censer, pairs of angels with twisted candles lit for the blessing of the dying. It stood on a side altar at Ognissanti kept for offices of the dead, matched, the museum says, to the rite performed before it. One mourner kneels before the bier, close enough to touch.
