Austin artist John Patrick Cobb has created renderings of Biblical imagery for more than three decades. Cobb’s works are inspired by his travels throughout Europe and the religious paintings he encountered in chapels. He is admired for his meticulous and exacting approach to painting and his use of traditional techniques using gold leaf, egg tempera, and classic methods that date back to Byzantine iconographers, to create paintings of Biblical characters and scenes that resemble early Renaissance portraits.
