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 steel helmet sits on the chequered floor beside a kneeling man. Jacopo Pesaro kneels in black holding a banner, and Saint Peter raises a hand to him from a throne, the keys lying on the step below. Behind Pesaro stands Pope Alexander VI, the Borgia, in tiara and green cope; galleys ride the water beyond. The KMSKA in Antwerp notes that a patron saint usually presents a Venetian donor, most often to Mary and Jesus; here a living pope does it, and the saint is Peter. The museum reads helmet and ships as the recent battle, Santa Maura taken from the Turks in 1502, which earned Pesaro heaven, the helmet laid aside in thanksgiving. The flag bears two coats of arms, Pesaro's and the pope's. Titian worked, the KMSKA says, to Giovanni Bellini's design. Alexander VI died in 1503, the first year the museum gives for it.
