Saint Cajetan, Religious statue on Charles Bridge, Prague, Czech Republic
The sandstone statue of Saint Cajetan features a pyramidal column with a flaming winged heart, accompanied by angels holding fruit-filled vessels.
Ferdinand Maxmilian Brokoff crafted this statue in 1709 at the request of Prague Theatines provost František of Lissau for the Charles Bridge.
The statue represents Saint Cajetan, founder of the Theatine Order, who dedicated his life to reforming clergy and supporting education in the 16th century.
The statue stands on the north side of Charles Bridge, which connects Old Town with Lesser Town across the Vltava River in Prague.
The figure holds an open book in his left hand while resting it on his bent leg, marking his connection to academic pursuits.
