Statue of Judah Loew ben Bezalel
The statue of Judah Loew ben Bezalel is an outdoor sculpture by Ladislav Šaloun, installed at New City Hall in Prague, Czech Republic.

A replica from 1914 by Ladislav Saloun is in the Maisel Synagogue in Prague. The replica has a plaque, which states that the statue’s theme is the Maharal’s death. His death is symbolized by the nude young girl holding out a rose “whose scent brings about his end”. There is a small dog on the statue’s other side, but no description of the meaning of the dog is given.
