Pietà, Religious memorial on Charles Bridge, Prague, Czech Republic.
The Pietà statue presents Mary and Mary Magdalene with the body of Jesus Christ, crafted in detailed stone by Emanuel Max in 1859.
The current sculpture replaced an earlier version created by Jan Brokoff in 1695, which was moved to the Monastery of Gracious Nurses.
The statue carries a Latin inscription stating 'Look and see if there is any pain like my pain', reflecting the religious heritage of Prague.
The memorial stands on the south side of Charles Bridge, maintaining its original position near the spot where a wooden crucifix stood until 1496.
Three figures compose this sculpture: the Virgin Mary holds Christ's body while Mary Magdalene kisses his hand, with John the Evangelist standing between them.
