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

Our Lady is found inside an oak, enthroned where the trunk has split open, the Christ Child on her knee holding a book. Two hermits kneel below, one barefoot in brown, one in black, their axes on the ground. The Museo Franz Mayer tells the legend: a statue said to be carved by Saint Luke, hidden in the oak after the Moors invaded Spain, shown by the Virgin to the hermits Domingo and Nuño beside a spring and a beehive. Cristina Cruz González traces the devotion to expatriates from the Rioja in Mexico City, where Conceptionist nuns kept her church. Juan Correa leaves the oak open, and her in it.
