Statue of John of Nepomuk on Charles Bridge
Statue of John of Nepomuk on Charles Bridge, Bronze statue on Charles Bridge, Prague, Czech Republic.
The statue depicts St. John of Nepomuk wearing clerical clothing with a biretta, holding a crucifix, and surrounded by five bronze stars.
Created in 1683 by sculptor Jan Brokoff, this bronze statue became the first religious sculpture placed on Charles Bridge during the Baroque period.
The figure represents the patron saint of silence and bridges, who died protecting the sanctity of confession under King Wenceslas IV in 1393.
Visitors approach the statue on the north side of Charles Bridge, where a plaque illustrates the saint's martyrdom through detailed bronze reliefs.
The bronze surface on the base of the statue shows visible wear from centuries of people touching it while making wishes for good fortune.
