Sousoší na terase před jezuitskou kolejí, Baroque sculptures at Jesuit College terrace in Kutná Hora, Czech Republic.
The group of sculptures on the terrace before the Jesuit College is a collection of stone figures depicting religious saints arranged in a balanced composition. The figures display crafted details and form part of the architectural decoration of the college complex.
The sculptures were created during the Counter-Reformation, when the Jesuit College served as a major center of learning in Bohemia. Franz Baugut crafted these works to express religious teaching through art in public view.
The figures on the terrace represent Catholic saints and show how the Jesuit order shaped religious life and education in Bohemian communities. They reflect the way faith was woven into daily practice and public spaces.
The terrace is freely accessible and can be explored on foot, allowing you to view the figures from different angles and distances. Local guides can provide additional information about the artistic and religious significance of the collection.
The stone figures have maintained their original composition over centuries without suffering severe weather damage to their surfaces. This makes them rare examples of how Baroque stone sculptures can endure in Central European conditions.
