About

Sculpture artist Anna Chromy's "Il Commendatore," or "Cloak of Conscience," sits outside of the historic Estates Theatre in Prague. Though the sculpture was created as a symbol for hope and peace, it's allegedly haunted: visitors have claimed faces in the figure's empty cloak have appeared in photos that have used flash photography.

The piece was created by the Czechian artist Anna Chromy. The original model was originally sourced from white marble from the same quarry as Michelangelo's David, in Carrara, Italy.
