Beschreibung
Magdalena Wagner's latest book offers a unique perspective on one of Prague's most significant landmarks – Charles Bridge – and its unique sculptural decoration. It takes readers on an engaging journey through the individual statues and groups, introducing them to the fates of the depicted saints as well as the stories of the masters and donors who contributed to the creation of these treasures. Just as the ancient creators of the sculptural decoration of Charles Bridge connected spiritual messages with artistic intent, this book connects historical facts with legends and offers a new view on the cultural and religious significance of this stone gallery under the open sky.
