Saints John of Matha, Felix of Valois, and Ivan, Religious sculpture group on Charles Bridge, Prague, Czech Republic
The sandstone statues of three Catholic saints stand prominently on the south side of Charles Bridge, representing religious devotion and redemption.
Created by Ferdinand Brokoff in 1714, these figures commemorate John of Matha and Felix of Valois, founders of the Trinitarian Order, alongside Saint Ivan.
The sculptures reflect the Catholic influence in Prague during the 18th century, when religious art adorned public spaces throughout the city.
Visitors can examine the statues while crossing Charles Bridge, which connects Prague Castle to the Old Town through a pedestrian walkway.
The statue group shows John of Matha with two freed prisoners, symbolizing the Trinitarian Order's mission to rescue Christians from Ottoman captivity.
