West's reach exceeded his grasp, because he always had the best opinion of himself. In describing his visit to Paris to see the paint- ings, at once " the glory and shame of Bona- parte's administration," he says, "wherever I went, men looked at me and ministers and people of state were constantly in my company.
I was one day in the Lourve ; all eyes were upon me and I could not help observing to Charles Fox who happened to be walking with me, how strong was the love of art and admiration of it...s professors, in France." " The complacent simplicity," says Gait, "which could imagine the public attention, to be exclusively directed to himself when there is no doubt, the great object of interest was the great statesman, who Wesi's Portrait Paintings 67 accompanied him is sufficiently characteristic and amusing. ' ' It was West's conceit that led him to attempt too much. But he was faith- ful up to the limit of his abilities. The evidence of study and hard work in his pictures is apparent. This characteristic is well illus- trated by a story told of his relation to Morse.
