Hutník, Sandstone sculpture at Alšovo náměstí, Ostrava-Poruba, Czech Republic.
The Hutník sculpture depicts a foundry worker in work attire standing with one foot resting on a steel profile, measuring 350 centimeters in height.
The sculpture was commissioned through a procedure from 1959 to 1962, when artist Antonín Ivanský completed this representation of industrial labor in Ostrava.
This life-sized sandstone figure represents the industrial heritage of Ostrava, reflecting the influence of foundry work in the region's development.
The sculpture stands on a rectangular concrete base in a small park, facing Alšovo náměstí, and underwent restoration work in 2022 to remove deposits.
The figure forms a thematic pair with another sculpture called Horník, created by the same artist and installed at Dělnická and Skautská streets intersection.
