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

A red flower rests between the fingers of Our Lady, and the Christ Child, naked on her dark lap, reaches up for it. Saint Jerome stands at the left in red, holding a book; Saint Francis stands barefoot at the right by an open door, a tall crucifix at his side, one hand on his breast. The Met's essay on Petrus Christus reads this small work as a summary of his art: mastery of one-point perspective, a debt to Jan van Eyck, and the Italian format called the sacra conversazione. So the saints keep the Virgin company in one room. Christus signed the front edge of the lower step of the throne, and the Städel records the date with a hole in it, 14[.]7, one digit illegible, and catalogues it as 1457. The carpet runs down the steps toward your feet.
