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 throne stands in the middle of a church, and the church is divided by it. Hans Memling seats Our Lady there with the Christ Child on her lap, and, as W. H. James Weale observed, this is not his usual setting for the Virgin: her throne is erected in the middle of the nave, and a rood-screen of five bays shuts off the choir. Utpictura18, the Aix-Marseille database, reads the church cut in two by the throne as the whole space made a Tabernacle, which the mystical writers tie to the mystery of the Incarnation. Saint James the Pilgrim and Saint Dominic present a family: Jacob Floreins, a Bruges spice merchant, with his sons on one side, and on the other his wife in widow's dress with their daughters, nineteen children. At either edge the arches open onto country, and the Child lifts a hand toward the pilgrim.
