Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Equestrian statue of St. Wenceslas, Vyšehrad, Prague, Czech Republic. The statue was sculpted in 1678-1680 by Jan Jiří Bendl (for 200 guldens and 936 l of rye flour). It was originally placed as part of a fountain in the middle of Horse Market in the New Town of Prague (today's name of the square - Wenceslas Square - derives from this statue). It was transferred to Vyšehrad in 1879 and a new monument of St. Wenceslas by Josef Václav Myslbek (today in the front of National Museum) was made later for the square.
Čeština: Jezdecká socha sv. Václava je dílem Jana Jiřího Bendla z let 1678-1680. Autor za její vysochání tehdy obdržel od novoměstské radnice 200 zlatých a 10 korců (936 litrů) žitné mouky. Původně tvořila součást kašny, stojící uprostřed Koňského trhu na úrovni Jindřišské a Vodičkovy ulice. V roce 1827 byla přemístěna o několik desítek kroků výše a opatřena novým podstavcem od Josefa Krannera. Od této sochy pochází nynější název Václavské náměstí, jak ho poprvé navrhl 16. března 1848 Karel Havlíček Borovský, u ní se ve dnech 4. a 11. června téhož roku konaly mše pod širým nebem, z nichž ta druhá, svatodušní, sloužená Janem Arnoldem skončila památnými nepokoji. Roku 1879 došlo k přenesení Bendlovy sochy do dnešních Štulcových sadů na Vyšehrad a Václavské náměstí později doplnil nový pomník od Josefa Václava Myslbeka.
