Statue of Diana in the Wallenstein Garden, Classical statue in Wallenstein Garden, Malá Strana, Czech Republic.
The statue of Diana stands in the formal garden of Wallenstein Palace in Malá Strana, depicting the goddess holding a bow and arrows. It is surrounded by baroque fountains, geometric flowerbeds, and other sculptures that form a harmonious ensemble.
The statue was created in the 17th century when powerful general Albrecht von Wallenstein had his palace built. It is among the original artworks the nobleman collected for his residence, reflecting his personal vision of grandeur and love of art.
The sculpture shows Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt, reflecting the baroque period's fascination with classical themes. Such mythological depictions were common among wealthy patrons and reveal the artistic taste of the era.
The sculpture is accessible daily in the public garden of Wallenstein Palace, with free admission for all visitors. The garden has set opening hours, so it is best to check these in advance and visit during daylight to see the statue and surroundings clearly.
The garden houses a remarkable collection of mythological figures that together form a kind of open-air art gallery. What is notable is that live peacocks wander among the fountains and flowerbeds, bringing the classical sculptures to life in an unexpected way.
