COSTA, Lorenzo - Conversion of St Valerian (Artwork) Crewneck Sweatshirt
Adorn yourself with a piece of Renaissance artistry, featuring Lorenzo Costa the Elder's "Conversion of St Valerian." This design captures a pivotal moment of spiritual transformation, pulled directly from the fresco cycle adorning the Oratory of Santa Cecilia in Bologna, Italy.
The artwork centers on the scene where Valerian, a Roman noble, embraces Christianity. In the foreground, you'll see Valerian's arrival at the retreat of Pope Urban I, where he is spiritually cleansed, marking his conversion. Costa masterfully depicts this turning point, emphasizing the transformative power of faith.
Look closely, and you'll find the secondary scene in the background, a subtle yet significant narrative element. Here, Cecilia and Valerian are depicted on their wedding night. Cecilia explains her vow of virginity and promises that Valerian too will witness the angel protecting her if he converts. This pivotal conversation sets the stage for Valerian's journey towards spiritual enlightenment.
This design encapsulates the essence of religious awakening and redemption. It beautifully combines devotional storytelling with the emerging Renaissance artistic techniques, offering a glimpse into a time of artistic and spiritual renaissance. Wear this design, and carry a piece of history and inspiration with you.
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

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.
