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
Leonardo's Gabriel kneels in a walled garden, a lily in his hand, and his shadow falls on the grass like any man's. Our Lady lifts one hand; the other rests on the book she was reading. The Uffizi reads the lily as her emblem of purity and the closed garden as alluding to it. Her right arm reaches unusually far to that book, which the gallery reads as calibration, not error: the work hung low over a side altar, its perspective possibly built to resolve from the right. No patron or commission survives, only its arrival from San Bartolomeo a Monteoliveto. Gabriel's hand stays raised; the book stays open.

And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
