"Sheppard has the look of an extrovert and the daring of an innovator. What is surprising about that? Were not all the great historical, religious, political and artistic innovations achieved by imagining a return to their origins." |

"It is very gratifying to find an artist of Sheppard's maturity and significance continuing to portray the realism of the human figure...each generation of artists has represented the beauty of the human form. J.S. has added to this oeuvre with a strong authority, a richness of invention and dramatic quality." |

"No realist in recent years is more accomplished than J.S. He seems to be a reincarnation of the Renaissance artists ..." |

La Nazione |
||
|
"Sheppard takes us back to the deepest and most authentic essence of painting and sculpture. The bodies in his drawings and sculpture recall the studies of Leonardo De Vinci, an expert in every art and skill." |

Simoni, |

"Sheppard the triumph of figurative art. His art is a return to the past and paradoxically by going against the current it becomes innovative." |

Il Giornale
della Toscana |
||
|
"A contemporary artist who seems to have 're-emerged' from that classic antiquity which is apparent in his work." |

"If you take one part Michelangelo, add an equal amount of Bernini, stir in a taste of Rubens, and season with dashes of March, Sloan, and Bellows you have Joseph Sheppard." |
