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.

All editionsAbout this painting
Gabriel bows with his arms folded on his breast, and Our Lady answers with her hands raised. At the left an angel drives Adam and Eve out among the rabbits. Above, in a disc of gold, God the Father is the hinge: the National Gallery of Art says He both points out the exiles' disgrace and looks ahead to the Annunciation. The garden, the Gallery says, is spring, the season of the Annunciation. At the right Saint Joseph warms his hands at a fire, which the Gallery reads as the Christ Child's winter birth to come. Giovanni di Paolo sets the loss and the remedy side by side.
