Overview

Il Commendatore by Anna Chromý is more than just a monument; it's a symbol of Prague's vibrant artistic spirit. Located in the heart of Old Town on Ovocný trh, the sculpture stands as a tribute to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's opera Don Giovanni, which premiered at the Estates Theatre nearby in 1787. The bronze sculpture depicts a faceless figure shrouded in a cloak, also known as the "Cloak of Conscience". Created by Czech-born artist Anna Chromý, the artwork is one of several "empty cloak" statues she created. The hollow interior is reportedly large enough to fit two adults. Installed in 2000, the statue encourages viewers to reflect on themes of conscience, tolerance, and the power of art in public spaces.Visitors to Il Commendatore can immerse themselves in the Old Town's charming atmosphere, with its cobblestone streets, cafes, shops and historical sites. The statue provides a glimpse into Prague's soul, inviting reflection on art's significance and its ability to connect people across time and cultures. Chromý's work has been highly appreciated, and she became the first woman to win the Premio Michaelangelo.
