 His work as a landscape painter reflects this breadth of knowledge and reveals Suydam as a deeply spiritual individual.Using his familiarity with science, Suydam reduced nature to calm, clean, planar forms, and then distorted proportional relations so that God's creations loomed superior over the work of man.The National Academy has most of his works such as "Paradise Rocks" (1865), and the Taft family's Taft Museum also holds works.
