CORNELIS van Haarlem - Massacre of the Innocents (Artwork) Crewneck Sweatshirt
A Masterpiece of Dramatic Intensity
This crewneck sweatshirt showcases the chilling and emotionally charged artwork of Cornelis van Haarlem's "Massacre of the Innocents," a powerful depiction of a biblical tragedy.
A Scene of Chaos and Brutality
The design plunges the viewer into a scene of utter chaos. Van Haarlem's masterful use of dramatic poses and exaggerated anatomy, characteristic of the Haarlem Mannerist style, is on full display. Figures are contorted in expressions of terror and anguish, mothers desperately attempt to shield their children from the brutal soldiers. The composition is a whirlwind of movement and emotion, conveying a visceral sense of the horror and violence of the event.
Symbolism and Meaning
The artwork, beyond its religious subject, carries layers of symbolism. It serves as a visual commentary on tyranny, oppression, and the suffering inflicted upon the innocent. The graphic depiction of violence is not intended to be gratuitous; rather, it's designed to force the viewer to confront the brutality of human cruelty and the enduring impact of suffering.
A Window into Artistic Expression
This design allows the wearer to carry a piece of art history and contemplate the themes of tragedy, injustice, and the power of human emotion as explored by a master of the late 16th century.
Unisex Heavy-Blend Crewneck Sweatshirt
A clean, dependable crewneck engineered for everyday wear. The cotton/poly blend keeps prints bright and the fit approachable — neither too boxy nor too snug. It's the sort of sweatshirt you reach for when comfort matters.
Product Highlights
Built from a balanced cotton and polyester mix, this crewneck gives you the soft hand of cotton with the color-keeping and shape retention polyester offers. That fabric combo helps printed artwork look crisp and vibrant, wash after wash.

The cut is unisex and intended to be versatile — choose your normal size for a classic fit or size up if you prefer a relaxed, contemporary silhouette. The length and sleeve proportions are tuned for easy layering.
Style it with high-waist jeans for a clean look, throw on a lightweight coat for chilly commutes, or match with joggers for a comfortable set. Works well with bold prints or minimalist branding.
