COTELLE, Jean II - Entrance to the Maze (Artwork) Crewneck Sweatshirt
A Glimpse into Royal Gardens
Adorn yourself with a timeless masterpiece: Jean II Cotelle's "Entrance to the Maze." This design transports you to the enchanting gardens of the Palace of Versailles, circa the late 17th century, a realm of beauty and symbolism.
Entering the Labyrinth
The artwork depicts the entrance to the Labyrinth Grove, a now-vanished feature of Versailles' elaborate garden complex. The design is a meticulous recreation of Cotelle's original painting, blending landscape elements with mythological figures, such as cherubs (cupids) and other decorative elements. Detailed foliage and a formal perspective, characteristic of Cotelle's style, create a romantic and theatrical atmosphere, evoking the grandeur of the era.
Symbolism and Meaning
The labyrinth itself, represented in the design, was more than just a garden feature; it served as a metaphor for life's journey. At the entrance, Aesop and Cupid, represented in statues, symbolized wisdom and love, respectively, guiding the visitor through the winding paths. This intricate allegorical system is now embodied on your apparel, a wearable reminder of this profound symbolism.
A Visual Record
By wearing this design, you carry a piece of history. The artwork preserves the design and atmosphere of a lost part of Versailles' gardens, providing a visual record of a bygone era. It showcases Cotelle's talent in combining landscape, garden perspective, and mythological figures, a key aspect of his artistic legacy.

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.

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.
