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 kneeling angel holds out fruit to the Child on His Mother's lap, and Saint Joseph rests on a rock a little way off. Matthew never halts the family on the road to Egypt. The stop comes from the apocryphal Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew, where Mary asks for fruit and the Child tells a palm to bend its branches and refresh His mother; a palm stands among the trees. Claude Lorrain, the Cleveland Museum of Art notes, set this event from the East in the Roman countryside, and such pictures sold across Europe as a calm retreat from the city. On the river a boat goes slowly by.

Who arose, and took the child and his mother by night, and retired into Egypt: and he was there until the death of Herod:
