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
The cat is the only one who gets out. The Rete Museale delle Città Lottesche finds it not at all pleased with the commotion; the Marche region's tourism site reads it as evil fleeing the divine presence. Everyone else stays. God the Father plunges from the sky, in the network's phrase, like an ancient swimmer. The angel kneels with a lily and one arm flung up, frightened, the network says, by the enormity of what is happening. Our Lady has been interrupted at her prayer book and turns toward us with both palms raised, in a tidy room with a nightcap, a towel and a candle. Lorenzo Lotto made it for the Oratory of the Confraternity of Santa Maria sopra Mercanti in Recanati. Only the cat is running.

And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
