This picture shows two sculptures on top of the Banco de Bilbao’s building, which is located in the Calle Alcala in Madrid. The bronze sculptures were placed there in 1922 and originally were golden, but during the Spanish Civil war were painted black to avoid aerial recognition by the attacking Franco’s forces.
