“Jeremiah Patterson’s work is reminiscent of Dutch and Italian Renaissance art.  Many trips to Italy allowed Patterson to analyze closely the great masterpieces in art museums, in cathedrals, and in churches- giving him significant insight into Renaissance style and technique.  This type of influence is evident in Patterson’s rendering of the figure.  As well as the balance and order found within the compositions of the artists work.  The large scale and the solidity of Patterson’s forms and his use of symbolism of color can be accredited to his Italian Renaissance technique, while the delicacy of form and realism within flesh can be attributed to his Dutch and Flemish influence.”
