Drag the print to move it. The painting is shown at true scale; where its shape differs from the sheet the print has a paper border, not drawn here. Prints are sold unframed, and a frame here is only for planning.

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
At the far left sits Our Lady with the Christ Child standing in her lap, and between them and the family kneel Saint John the Baptist and Saint Jerome, as the Dresden Gemäldegalerie names them. The Cuccina fill the rest: men, women, children, a small dog. Among them move three women in white, green and red, whom the museum names Faith, Hope and Charity. A review in Kunstchronik has them moving among the family protectively and embodying its virtue, vouching for merchant-citizens who had come from Bergamo and grown rich in cloth only by the middle of the sixteenth century. The museum dates the commission to about 1571, from Antonio and Alvise Cuccina, for the portego of their new palazzo on the Grand Canal. At the right edge Veronese paints the palazzo down to the smallest detail. The house that ordered it stands inside it.
