Saint Francis of Assisi, Religious statue on Charles Bridge, Czech Republic
The stone statue shows Saint Francis in a religious habit with stigmata marks, accompanied by two Neoclassic angels on a pseudo-baroque base.
Emanuel Max created this sculpture in 1855 to replace an earlier 1708 version by František Preis that suffered extensive damage over time.
The statue represents Saint Francis of Assisi, founder of the Franciscan Order, known for his dedication to nature, animals, and environmental stewardship.
Located on the south side of Charles Bridge, this statue stands among 29 other sculptures that line the pedestrian pathway between Old Town and Lesser Quarter.
Count František Antonín Kolowrat Liebsteinský commissioned this piece as part of the bridge's collection of religious and historical monuments.
