myminifactory

This monument was created specifically for Mrs. Josefa Humpal-Zemanová's tombstone, a passionate advocate for women's rights. She was an active member of various organizations and served as a skilled editor. The artist behind this masterpiece is Stanislav Sucharda (1866–1916), a renowned Czech sculptor who held the position of professor at the Prague School of Applied Arts from 1899. He was also a prominent figure in the Mánes Union of Fine Arts (S.U.V. Mánes), established in 1887. His work can be admired at the František Palacký Monument in Prague's New Town, as well as on several Art Nouveau buildings designed for Czech architects Osvald Polívka and Jan Kotěra, including Polívka's iconic New Town Hall in Prague. Notably, he also created a monument to Czech composer Karel Bendl, which stands proudly in Bubeneč, northwest of Prague. Stanislav Sucharda was the brother of Czech sculptor and puppeteer Vojtěch Sucharda. This object is part of the "Scan The World" initiative, introduced by MyMiniFactory.
