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 banner at the top of the copper carries the words a pope gave to Mexico: Non fecit taliter omni nationi, he hath not done in like manner to every nation. Benedict XIV himself kneels at the lower left in his tiara, the Office and Mass he granted the feast open on his knee, and across from him a Mexica princess in a feathered crown holds the eagle of the empire. Between them the Virgin of Guadalupe stands on her moon in a blaze of gold, and round her, in scrolled rococo frames, are the apparitions to Juan Diego and the miracles of the image, with prophets and apostles reaching up to crown her, Regina sanctorum omnium. At the very foot lies the sanctuary at Tepeyac with its towers. The Denver Art Museum records the painter as Sebastián Salcedo, who signed and dated the work in 1779, oil on copper, bought in 1976. The whole theology of Guadalupe is on one small plate. Her eyes are lowered, as they are on the tilma.
