Sculpture of St. Joseph with Infant Jesus

The sculpture of St. Joseph with the Infant Jesus by the sculptor Josef Calasanzy Max (1854) replaced an earlier work on the same theme, made in the workshop of Johann Brokoff in 1706. Brokoff’s sculpture was severely damaged during the fighting on the bridge in 1848, and it’s currently stored in the Lapidarium of the National Museum. The new sculpture was funded by Prague merchant Josef Bergman. It was restored in 2024, and during the restoration a missing attribute was added – the lily that St. Joseph holds in his right hand.
