Saint Joseph, Religious statue on Charles Bridge, Prague, Czech Republic.
Saint Joseph stands on Charles Bridge holding the infant Jesus while gazing toward the Old Town. This statue is one of about 30 sculptures positioned along this stone crossing.
The statue was created in 1854 and stands on a bridge built during the 14th century. It is part of a collection of religious sculptures that were gradually added over the decades.
The statue shows Saint Joseph as a protector of families and workers, a religious symbol in Prague's art collection. This depiction reflects Christian values that have shaped the bridge for centuries.
The statue is visible throughout the day, with early morning providing the best light and fewer visitors. It helps to view it from different spots along the bridge to see the details clearly.
The figure's posture and position on the bridge create special visual effects during sunrise and sunset. These moments are often missed by visitors who pass by at other times of day.
