EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the Baroque sculpture of Saint Ivo of Kermartin, a 13th-century French lawyer and patron saint of lawyers and the poor, located on the iconic Charles Bridge in Prague, Czech Republic. The original sculpture was created by Matyas Bernard Braun in 1711 on behalf of the Faculty of Law. The statue depicts Saint Ivo as a boy, holding a sword in one hand and a scale in the other, symbolizing justice. The statue is a replica of the original, designed by František Hergesel, Jr. in 1908. The replica decorates the Charles Bridge, a historic structure that connects the Old Town and Lesser Town quarters of Prague. The bridge is adorned with numerous statues and sculptures, making it a popular tourist destination. Saint Ivo of Kermartin, also known as Saint Yvo or Saint Ives, was born in the Middle Ages and became known for his unwavering commitment to justice and his compassion towards the poor. He is often depicted with his wife and children, highlighting his dedication to family values. The statue's placement on the bridge is significant as it serves as a reminder of the importance of justice and the role of lawyers in society. The image captures the essence of the statue's historical and cultural significance, making it a must-see attraction for visitors to Prague.
