Depicted Baroque sculptural group of Holy Family (Svatá Rodina), work of sculptor Jan Jirí Šlanzovský, decorates main public space of Ceský Brod - Námestí Arnošta z Pardubic (Arnošt of Pardubice Square).
The original Baroque sculptural group was sculpted from sandstone by Jan Jirí Šlanzovský in 1722-1723. Work was the result of a commission by the local municipal council, and funded by the bequest of Terezie Tlapalová. In the 1990s, the crumbling statue underwent restoration, and was moved to the Podlipanské Museum. So, the sculptural group which you can see in Square, is a sandstone copy of original work sculpted in 1996.
