The Swiss are known for a scale of many things – their cheese, chocolate, snow-capped Matterhorn, as well as their unmatched precision in watch-making.
The Swiss Bank is also an abiding giant. The painting’s central vault, or Peacewatch, is adorned with a combination of Roman and Arabic numerals and 26 stones or letters derived from the four official languages of Switzerland: German, French, Italian and Romansh.
