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

The Christ Child has one arm round His Mother's neck and His cheek pressed to hers, and the whole garden holds still for it. Two angels with coloured wings lift a cloth of honour behind Our Lady, brocaded with plants and animals; roses, irises and lilies of the valley grow beyond. At the left stands a metal fountain, and the KMSKA reads it, with the lion on top, as a figure for Mary, praised as a fountain in the Song of Solomon. The museum takes this small work by Jan van Eyck, completed in 1439, for private devotion, prayed before at home. In His other hand, prayer beads.

The fountain of gardens: the well of living waters, which run with a strong stream from Libanus.
