EDITORS COMMENTS
John of Nepomuk (1345-1393): The Venerated Baroque Saint of Prague's Charles Bridge John of Nepomuk, a revered figure in Czech history and the national saint of the Czech Republic, is immortalized in this stunning 17th-century baroque statue located at Prague's iconic Charles Bridge. The statue, created by the renowned Bohemian sculptor Jan Brokoff between 1683 and 1685, stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of this remarkable man. Born in Bohemia during the Middle Ages, John of Nepomuk gained renown as a devoted and virtuous priest, known for his unwavering commitment to confidentiality and his charitable works. His life took a tragic turn when he was ordered by King Wenceslas IV to reveal the secrets of Queen Sophia's confession. Refusing to betray the trust of the queen, John was cast into the Vltava River and drowned. His martyrdom only served to enhance his reputation as a saint and protector. The statue of John of Nepomuk on Charles Bridge is a significant work of art from the baroque period. The intricate details of the statue show John with his hands bound, gazing upwards in a posture of prayer, as he is carried by the waves of the Vltava River. The statue's placement on the bridge, which spans the Vitava River, is symbolic of the saint's miraculous escape from drowning. This image captures the essence of John of Nepomuk's enduring legacy as a saint, a protector, and a symbol of Czech national pride. The statue continues to draw pilgrims and visitors to Prague, who come to pay their respects and seek the saint's intercession. The statue's beauty and historical significance make it a must-see attraction for anyone visiting the Czech Republic.
