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

High over the mountains a red thing hangs in the sky with its wings out, and fine gold threads come down from it. The National Gallery of Art calls it a flame-red cross and follows five gold lines to the kneeling man's hands, his feet and his right side; where one ray touches the palm of his right hand, the nearer one, there is a red spot. Thomas of Celano's First Life tells what Francis saw: a man with six wings like a seraph standing over him, arms extended and feet joined, fixed to a cross. Domenico Veneziano gives the companion none of it. He has sat down hard in the grass with a hand at his brow, a small red book on the ground by his fingers. Behind them rise three peaks, ice blue, shell pink, pale green. Francis keeps both hands up and open.
