''He tried everything that was expected of a great painter in his day-an abundance of glamorous portrait paintings and drawings, large-scale ecclesiastic commissions, Orientalist exotica derived from his travels in North Africa and ill-fated attempts at history painting-yet in almost nothing that his facile talents produced at breakneck speed did Chassériau achieve the greatness he aspired to.''
