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.

About this painting

The Holy Spirit comes down as a dove through the vault in a burst of gold, and small flames fall like sparks on the heads below. Our Lady sits at the centre in blue, hands joined, eyes lowered; the apostles crowd close around her, the nearest two on low stools. Beneath, the prayer begins: Domine, labia mea aperies. Jean Bourdichon, court painter to four successive French kings, made the Katherine Hours among his earliest work; the Getty calls it a private prayer book built around the eight daily services of the clergy. In the borders an I and a K twine together, probably the initials of the couple who commissioned it. The lips open.

And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost: and they began to speak with divers tongues, according as the Holy Ghost gave them to speak.
