Franz Kafka Sculpture

The contemporary sculpture of Franz Kafka in Prague, created by artist Jaroslav Róna in 2003, is a striking bronze monument located near the Spanish Synagogue in the city's Jewish Quarter. Depicting a miniature Kafka riding atop the shoulders of a giant, headless suit, a reference to his surreal short story "Description of a Struggle", the sculpture captures the author's existential themes of alienation and bureaucratic absurdity. With its dreamlike, disjointed form and polished metallic surface that reflects passing viewers, the statue embodies the haunting, labyrinthine quality of Kafka's literary world while serving as a bold modern tribute to Prague's most famous literary son.
