Saint Anthony of Padua, Religious statue on Charles Bridge, Prague, Czech Republic
The sandstone sculpture displays a young monk in religious habit with infant Jesus standing on a book placed on the kneeler.
Jan Oldřich Mayer created this statue in 1707, commissioned by Kryštof Mořic Wittauer, a councillor of the purgatorial court in Prague.
The statue includes vases on the bridge parapet depicting scenes from Saint Anthony's life, reflecting the Catholic traditions of early 18th century Prague.
Located on the north side of Charles Bridge, the statue remains accessible throughout the year as part of the open-air gallery connecting Old Town with Lesser Town.
The original design featured the saint holding a lily flower in his right hand, while his left leg rests on the lower part of a kneeler.
