Saint Nicholas of Tolentino, Religious statue on Charles Bridge in Prague, Czech Republic

The statue depicts Saint Nicholas of Tolentino in religious vestments, accompanied by a small figure carrying bread on the south side of Charles Bridge.

Created by sculptor Jeroným Kohl in 1708, the statue was commissioned by the Augustinian order from Saint Thomas monastery in Prague's Lesser Town.

The statue represents the patron saint of the souls in Purgatory and stands among thirty religious sculptures that line the medieval Charles Bridge.
