Nová Opava Statue, Sandstone statue in Sady Svobody, Czech Republic
The Nová Opava Statue stands in Sady Svobody, the Freedom Park in central Opava, showing fine details of sandstone sculpture. The work is about 10 feet (3 meters) tall and impresses with the careful treatment of the material.
The artwork was created in 1958 by sculptor Vincenc Havel during a time when Czech sculpture was exploring new directions after the war. Its creation came as public art regained importance in the community.
The statue represents an essential component of Opava's public art collection, reflecting the artistic expressions and social values of mid-twentieth century Czech sculpture.
The statue sits in the Freedom Park in the town center and is easy to reach on foot. The park is open to the public and offers a peaceful spot to stop.
The statue combines traditional sandstone carving methods with the distinctive artistic style of Vincenc Havel, making it a reference point for Czech public sculpture.
