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
Snow falls on the kings and on everyone else. Pieter Bruegel the Elder dabbed the flakes, Fresko Magazin notes, as specks of different sizes and shapes, white across most of the scene and grey where they fall in front of the frozen canal, and ch-cultura.ch, announcing the Sammlung Oskar Reinhart's exhibition, calls it the first painting on wood to show snow falling. At the far left, in a broken shed, Our Lady holds the Christ Child in the cold and the kings kneel before Him. The village keeps its own business: a crowd in the square, a man going down the steps to the ice. An old inventory of the Jabach collection listed it plainly: the three kings in front adoring the Lord, much snow falling, and a small child gliding on a little sledge. The child is still gliding.

And entering into the house, they found the child with Mary his mother, and falling down they adored him: and opening their treasures, they offered him gifts; gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
