CORT, Cornelis - Hearing (Artwork) Crewneck Sweatshirt Design
Adorn yourself with the refined elegance of Cornelis Cort's "Hearing," a captivating engraving that embodies the auditory sense. This design, adapted from the original artwork, transports you to the Renaissance, where art and intellect intertwine.
A Symphony of Sensations
The design prominently features the allegorical figure of Hearing: a woman, seated and poised, embodying the essence of auditory experience. She is surrounded by a carefully curated collection of objects and activities that speak to the multifaceted nature of sound and its impact on the human experience.
Harmonies in Imagery
Echoing the original engraving, the design incorporates a rich tapestry of visual details. The image may include musical instruments, such as lutes, viols, and harps, to represent the pleasures of music. Musicians could also be shown performing, further emphasizing the refined and intellectual nature of auditory delight. The setting itself, likely a blend of architectural and landscape elements consistent with the Mannerist style of Stradanus (the original artist), provides a sense of depth and contextual richness.
Symbolism of Sound
Cort's masterful use of engraving translates to a rich tapestry of imagery in the design. The elements in the design symbolize the intellectual and sensual aspects of sound in Renaissance philosophy. The presence of musical instruments, performing musicians, and the very posture of the central figure, speaks to the beauty, sophistication, and refined pleasure that the Renaissance valued.
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.
Practical construction details — a ribbed knit collar that holds its shape and the absence of side seams — remove common annoyances so the sweatshirt feels smooth and lasting during everyday use.
- Cotton/poly blend for softness, durability, and color retention
- Ribbed knit collar to prevent stretching and keep a neat neckline
- No side seams for a cleaner feel against the skin
- Midweight construction — warm without bulk
- Made to hold print detail and color after repeated washing
Fit & Style Notes
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.
