John Talbott Donoghue (1853 – July 1, 1903) was an American artist who was born in Chicago. Although he produced figural sculpture, bas reliefs and paintings, his fame rests primarily on a single bronze sculpture, "The Young Sophocles". This bronze was originally cast in 1885, but later castings are known to exist. It is a full-length nude sculpture of the Greek dramatist Sophocles playing a lyre while leading the chorus of victory after the Battle of Salamis in 480 BCE. John Talbott Donoghue shot himself on July 1, 1903, in Lake Whitney, Connecticut.

  • John Talbott Donoghue (1853 – July 1, 1903) was an American artist who was born in Chicago. Although he produced figural sculpture, bas reliefs and paintings, his fame rests primarily on a single bronze sculpture, "The Young Sophocles". This bronze was originally cast in 1885, but later castings are known to exist. It is a full-length nude sculpture of the Greek dramatist Sophocles playing a lyre while leading the chorus of victory after the Battle of Salamis in 480 BCE. John Talbott Donoghue shot himself on July 1, 1903, in Lake Whitney, Connecticut. The Honolulu Museum of Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art are among the public collections holding works by John Talbott Donoghue. The latter’s The Young Sophocles Leading the Chorus of Victory after the Battle of Salamis is on long-term loan to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. During his 1882 lecture tour of North America Oscar Wilde met Donoghue and encouraged Chicagoans to support one "whose work is beautiful — more beautiful than the work of any sculptor I have seen yet, and of whom you should all be proud." His work was also part of the sculpture event in the art competition at the 1928 Summer Olympics. (en)
  • John Talbott Donoghue (1853 – 1 de julio de 1903) fue un artista Estadounidense nacido en Chicago. A pesar de que produjo escultura figurativa, bajorrelieves y pinturas, su fama se debe, sobre todo, a un bronce, "El Joven Sófocles". Este bronce fue fundido por primera vez en 1885, pero se sabe que también hubo otras posteriores. Se trata de una escultura del dramaturgo griego Sófocles, completamente desnudo, tocando una lira mientras dirige el coro de la victoria tras la Batalla de Salamina en el 480 AC. John Talbott Donoghue murió el 1 de julio de 1903, en el Lago Whitney, Connecticut. El Museo de Arte de Honolulu y el Museo Metropolitano de Arte se encuentran entre las colecciones públicas que conservan obras de John Talbott Donoghue. En el lobby principal del Banco de la Reserva Federal de Nueva York se encuentra la copia de El joven Sófocles dirigiendo el coro de la victoria de la Batalla de Salamina del segundo de tales museos, en régimen de préstamo a largo plazo.​ (es)
