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 infant Christ leans from Our Lady's knee to greet Saint John the Baptist, and the two children meet as if nothing were coming. Saint Joseph and Saint Elizabeth look on. But children at the right carry a ewer, a basin of water and a towel, which the Norton Simon Museum, owner of the canvas jointly with the Getty, reads as perhaps an allusion to John's later baptism of Christ. Far off, a family flees by boat from pursuing horsemen, a reference, the museum says, to the flight into Egypt. Nicolas Poussin painted it about 1651. Water waits close by, pursuit far off, and between them the greeting.
