| "Young Sophocles," by John Talbott Donoghue,
on loan from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, stands in the
entrance of the main lobby of the Bank. Inspired by his
reading of plays of Sophocles, Donoghue chose to portray
a significant moment in the Greek dramatist's life. Because
of Young Sophocles' athletic prowess, skill in music and
beauty of physique, he was selected in 480 BC to lead the
chorus of victory after the Battle of Salamis. |
