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
An old king kneels and takes the Christ Child's foot in hands wrapped in cloth, and the Uffizi reads the veil as reverence: flesh covered before it touches what is holy. The Child is God and lets His foot be held. Above them a shelter of beams rests on ancient ruins, read as the pagan age giving way to the new. The Uffizi, following Vasari, names the kings as Medici, Cosimo the Elder at the feet, probably Piero in red and Giovanni in white, all three already dead. Gaspare del Lama founded this chapel of the Magi in 1469; Sandro Botticelli paints him grey-haired, in light blue, pointing at himself.

And entering into the house, they found the child with Mary his mother, and falling down they adored him: and opening their treasures, they offered him gifts; gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
Matthew 2:11 · Douay-Rheims (Challoner)
