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
Our Lady holds a small rose between two fingers, and the Child reaches across her lap to take it. The Frick reads the rose as a symbol of His future suffering, echoed in the carved rosettes beneath the throne. Four angels stand about the throne, the one in white barefoot with arms folded; the Clark finds his shadow on the throne's base and reads it as a sign the work first hung to the right of a window. When Piero della Francesca's altarpiece was shown at the Metropolitan Museum, Walter Kaiser reports, six scholars could not agree on a date. It keeps its wall and gives up no year.
