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 scroll hangs from one hand, and the other is raised as if to begin. Francis stands barefoot on a cloud in a column of gold, ringed with small winged heads, and the words on his scroll are borrowed ones: Come, my children, listen to me, I will teach you the fear of the Lord, as Fern Rusk Shapley transcribes them. The children kneel below. The Brooks Museum names the crowned king in the fleur-de-lis of France as Louis IX and the woman with roses in her apron as Elizabeth of Hungary, two patron saints of the Order; Shapley names the plain couple beside them Lucchesio and Bona, who, the New Catholic Encyclopedia records, took the Third Order rule from Francis himself in 1221 and kept their lives in the world. Filippino Lippi's workshop kneels all four on the grass. Not one of them is a friar.
