Monument to Joseph Manes

The monument to Josef Manes stands on the embankment of Prague at the base of the bridge, named after the outstanding Czech artist of the XIX century.

Josef Manes is a leading Czech painter of the XIX century. His works in the Romantic style were a bright continuation of the European artistic tradition.

The monument to the artist was erected at the end of the XIX century on the embankment, near the hall of Rudolfinum, where the national orchestra of Prague is located.

The figure of Manes, who holds an easel in his hands, complements the architectural ensemble of the square, echoing the monument to another great Czech - Antonin Dvorak, whose sculpture is installed opposite.
