Sizes

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

A thin white line crosses the room from a statue of Our Lady to the mouth of Saint Bernard. He kneels in his white habit, hands open, and receives it. The Prado is precise: Bernard takes the jet of milk from a carved Virgin and Child standing on an altar, not from a living apparition. Below, a cardinal watches with his hands joined in prayer, identified since the nineteenth century as Sandoval y Rojas, who as archbishop of Toledo brought the Capuchins to the city in 1611. Javier Portús calls the milk a reward for a life spent praising Mary. Alonso Cano lets it travel through empty air.
