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
An angel flies in holding a crown over Our Lady's head. The Christ Child sits on her knee and raises His hand in blessing toward the man kneeling across from them, Chancellor Rolin, palms pressed together over his open book. Behind them the arches open on a river, a bridge, a town, and two small figures stand at the parapet looking out. Laura Gelfand identifies the gilded spire behind Rolin's hands, almost certainly, as Notre-Dame-du-Châtel, the church that once housed this painting; she reads the capitals, the Drunkenness of Noah and Abraham meeting Melchizedek, as Old Testament wine and bread on the side of a man whose fortune grew from the vineyards in the landscape. A column still divides him from the Virgin. The crown, Gelfand argues, is likely one Rolin gave that church. Jan van Eyck lets him kneel beneath his own gift.
