Statue of Jaroslav Vrchlický, Bronze statue in Lobkovická zahrada, Malá Strana, Czech Republic.

The statue of Jaroslav Vrchlický, carved from sandstone in 1956 by brothers Josef and Antonín Wagner, stands on a square pedestal designed by architect Jan Sokol in the Lobkovická zahrada in Prague's Malá Strana. The over-life-size seated poet holds a sheet of paper and a pen, a cloak over his shoulders, and is supported by two female figures representing Poetry and Drama. Behind him, ribbons bear the inscription: "Já v duši celé lidstvo nosil, vír jeho tužeb, muk a snů."

A competition for a Vrchlický monument was won in 1938, with Karlovo náměstí originally intended as the site. Realisation came only after the Second World War: a plaster model was finished in 1951, when Petřín was chosen, and the sandstone statue by Josef and Antonín Wagner was completed in 1956 and installed in 1960. Architect Jan Sokol designed the angular pedestal.

The statue carries a verse on ribbons behind the poet: "Já v duši celé lidstvo nosil, vír jeho tužeb, muk a snů." Two female figures, allegories of Poetry and Drama, support the seated, aged poet holding a sheet of paper and a pen, with a cloak over his shoulders.

The monument stands on a park path in the southwestern part of Lobkovická zahrada, on Petřín's northern wooded slope; the path continues from the Promenáda Raoula Wallenberga. The garden is open to the public, so the statue can be reached on foot along the Petřín paths above Malá Strana.

Behind the poet's back, ribbons curl with the verse: "Já v duši celé lidstvo nosil, vír jeho tužeb, muk a snů." The seated figure holds a sheet of paper and a pen, and two female allegories of Poetry and Drama support him.
