Lumír and Píseň, Stone sculpture in Vyšehrad, Czech Republic.

The sculpture depicts a bard named Lumír with a symbolic figure of song, Píseň, created by Josef Václav Myslbek in stone between 1889 and 1897.

Originally placed on Palacký Bridge, the sculpture sustained damage during the 1945 American bombing and moved to Vyšehrad park in 1948 during bridge reconstruction.

The sculpture represents Czech mythology through Lumír, who refused to sing for The Maidens' War victors and performed his final song at Vyšehrad.

Located at coordinates 50.0639172, 14.4174452, visitors can find this monument in Vyšehradské sady along with other historical statues from the same period.

A bronze miniature version of the sculpture remains preserved in the old town hall of Prague Old Town for additional cultural reference.
