Destruction of the Statue of Bel Hoodie - Design
Adorn yourself with a piece of art history: the dramatic "Destruction of the Statue of Bel" by Cornelis Cort. This hoodie design showcases the powerful engraving created in 1565, capturing a pivotal moment from the biblical story of "Bel and the Dragon."
A Scene of Iconoclasm
The design features a black-and-white reproduction of Cort's engraving, depicting the dramatic destruction of the idol statue of Bel. This scene, central to the narrative, symbolizes the triumph of faith and the rejection of false idols. The detailed linework of the engraving, characteristic of Cort's skill, translates tonal values, depth, and the story's narrative into a compelling visual.
Religious and Moral Symbolism
The artwork, originally part of a print series, conveys a strong message of religious conviction. The image represents the dismantling of pagan idolatry and the embrace of a singular, true God. The design embodies the historical and art-historical significance of the original engraving, reflecting the religious climate and iconographic values of the 16th century.
A Master of Engraving
The hoodie design allows you to wear a piece of art that showcases the technical mastery of Cornelis Cort, a prominent Dutch engraver. The design retains the detailed shading and composition that allows for the storytelling of the narrative within the constraints of black and white prints.
