Knit from merino—a favorite for its soft, durable warmth and natural temperature-regulating abilities—in a chunky, three-gauge stitch, this crewneck sweater is brushed for a dense, textured finish. It features an adaptation of Édouard Manet’s (French, 1832–1883) painting The Funeral (ca. 1867) in exceptional detail, digitally printed across the entire garment. This unfinished oil painting in The Met collection is thought to depict the funeral of the writer Charles Baudelaire, which took place on September 2, 1867, at the foot of the Butte Mouffetard in southwest Paris. Manet was among the few mourners, who are framed by the towers and cupolas of the Val de Grâce, the Panthéon, Saint-Etienne-du-Mont, and the Tour de Clovis rising in the background. The painting’s moody olives and textural neutrals speak to Todd Snyder’s color palette.
As part of its mission to collect, study, conserve, and present significant works of art across time and cultures in order to connect all people to creativity, knowledge, ideas, and one another, The Metropolitan Museum of Art invited Todd to design a wearable, art-inspired collection. “The colors and brushstrokes of Van Gogh, Degas, and Manet feel incredibly modern, incredibly relevant,” says Todd of the pieces he chose to adapt for this unique collaboration.
