EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a Baroque print depicting Saint Ivo of Kermartin, a 13th-century French lawyer and patron saint of lawyers and the poor, along with the Old Town Bridge Tower in Prague, Czech Republic. The intricately designed print, created in 1711 by Matyas Bernard Braun on behalf of the Faculty of Law, captures the essence of both the saint and the iconic bridge tower. The statue of Saint Ivo on the bridge is a replica from 1908, designed by František Hergesel, Jr. The original statue, which is believed to have been erected in the 14th century, was lost during the Swedish invasion in 1648. The replica stands proudly on the Charles Bridge, adorned with a spire and a group of children, symbolizing the saint's protection and care for the poor and the young. The print beautifully captures the fusion of architectural styles, with the Gothic Old Town Bridge Tower standing tall in the background. The bridge, a significant fortification and decorative element of Prague, adds to the grandeur of the image. The print also highlights the rich history of the city, which is steeped in medieval and Baroque influences. The image of Saint Ivo of Kermartin, with his traditional attributes of a sword and a pair of scales, signifies justice and fairness. The print serves as a reminder of the importance of these values, not only in the legal profession but also in everyday life. The combination of the saint and the bridge tower in this print makes for a stunning visual representation of Prague's rich history and cultural heritage.
