“Aqua viva” by Stanislav Hanzík, 1992
Františkánská zahrada (Franciscan Garden)
Vodičkova, Nové Město
Prague, September 2024
“The garden is located next to the former Franciscan monastery at the Church of Our Lady of the Snows, which can be entered from Vodičkova Street, Wenceslas Square and Jungmann Square. Originally there was a fish tank here and in the recent past a concrete fire tank. Currently, a metal sculpture of a boy has been newly placed here, with water flowing down from a conch shell that the boy is holding above him. The sculpture was created by Stanislav Hanzík (he called it ‘Aqua viva’) in 1992 and also serves as a drinking fountain.” (Drinking bottle with a sculpture of a boy, Pražské kašny a fontány)
