The image shows the Jan Hus Monument on Old Town Square in Prague, with St. Nicholas Church
in the background. The monument is a stone and bronze sculpture group in Art Nouveau and
Symbolist style. It was unveiled in 1915 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the
martyrdom of the church reformer Jan Hus. The statue shows the figure of Hus above a
funeral pyre, along with groups of people representing fighters and exiles.
St. Nicholas Church is a prominent Baroque church that dominates the square
