Madonna with Saint Bernhard, Religious statue on Charles Bridge, Czech Republic
The Madonna with Saint Bernard statue features the Virgin Mary with infant Jesus while Saint Bernard kneels in a religious garment beneath them.
Sculptor Matěj Václav Jäckel created this Baroque monument in 1708 for the Cistercian monastery abbot in Osek during Prague's artistic renaissance.
The statue incorporates symbols of Christ's Passion, including the cross and Veronica's Veil, reflecting medieval Christian devotional practices.
The original statue now stands in the National Museum's Lapidarium for preservation, while visitors can view its replica on Charles Bridge.
Latin inscriptions on the statue base record a dialogue between Mary and Bernard, with the responses 'AVE MARIA' and 'SALVE BERNARDE'.
