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
A young saint sits on a stone throne with a red book at his knee, and the gold behind him has worn through in places. Saint Lawrence, the Met says, rests his feet on the grill of his martyrdom. Beside him stand Cosmas and Damian, each with a palm, the physician saints associated with the Medici. Three kneel small at his feet: the Met names them Alessandro Alessandri, a Florentine merchant, and two of his sons, in costly red with their cappucci over their shoulders. Fra Filippo Lippi made the altarpiece for the family's church of Santa Maria at Vincigliata in the hills above Florence, where it was recorded in 1493 and Vasari described it. The script on the saints' robes looks like Arabic and was never meant to be read. Lawrence keeps his eyes down, toward the men who asked him here.
