In his 1963 biography of Austen Henry Layard, Gordon Waterfield acknowledged the problem of dealing with so protean an individual. His title, "Layard of Nineveh," endorsed the general association of his subject in the public mind with archaeological excavations in what is today Iraq. Layard's life seems to have been a long balancing act between politics and diplomacy and art, ancient and modern. The aim of this article is to chart Layard's relationship with the sculptor Carlo Marochetti, in the hope that this may throw light not only on the causes of Marochetti's declining reputation in the 1860s, but also on the direction which his art was taking in this final years.
