Yes he was a genius but sadly so much of his 'controversial' work has been lost or destroyed because of stupidity and religious zeal.
He was also inclined to be jack of all trades master of none.If only he had paid more attention to preserving his paintings especially those done on plaster and some of his oils....So much has been lost.
