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 Christ Child reaches up to His Mother's face, and a whole court stands still for it. The friars on the left go barefoot. Cosimo de' Medici paid for the altarpiece around 1450, for the high altar of the Franciscan convent of San Bonaventura at Bosco ai Frati, and put his own saints in it. Friends of Florence, who sponsored its restoration, name them: at left Saints Anthony of Padua, Louis of Toulouse and Francis; at right Saints Cosmas and Damian, the Medici saints, with Saint Peter Martyr. The classical wall and niche behind Our Lady, they note, reflect what Fra Angelico had seen in Rome.
