Sizes

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.

About this painting

Christ lifts a crown onto His Mother's head, and she crosses her hands at her breast and bows to take it. The Holy Spirit, a white dove, opens His wings in the gold above them. The Getty says Gentile da Fabriano painted this as the front of a two-sided processional standard, carried in his native Fabriano, probably by devotees of the Virgin on her feast days. The Fondazione Magnani-Rocca near Parma holds the other face, Saint Francis receiving the stigmata. Sometime before 1834, the Getty writes, it was likely cut in half so both sides could hang on a gallery wall. A banner made to be carried now stands still.
