Description
This is one of the 30 statues on the Charles Bridge in Prague. Sadly when we were there, there bridge was undergoing construction and we didn't get to see half the statues.

The statue features St. John of Matha, St. Felix of Valois, and St. Ivan.

This statue was commissioned for the Trinitarian order, which rescued Christians from Turkish captivity. In the huge rock is a prison, in front of which there’s a dog and Turk with a cat-o’-nine-tails guarding the imprisoned Christians. With money for their freedom, St. John is standing on the summit of the rock. St. Ivan is seated on the left, and St. Felix is loosening the bonds of the prisoners.
