Johann Georg Bendl

Johann-Georg Bendl (German: [ˈjoːhan ˈɡeːɔʁk ˈbɛndl̩]; before 1620 – 27 May 1680 in Prague), or Jan Jiří Bendl (Czech: [jan ˈjɪr̝iː ˈbɛndl̩]), was a Bohemian Baroque sculptor, who worked mainly in Prague.

He was the son of fellow sculptor Georg Bendl (c. 1570–1656) and is considered the first important Bohemian Baroque sculptor. His sculptural style was imitated by many successors, and some of his statues can be seen at the National Gallery in the St. George Convent in the Prague Castle.
