The Tomb of Ottokar II is a significant Gothic funerary monument crafted by the renowned medieval sculptor and architect Peter Parler. Located in St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague, Czech Republic, this tomb commemorates King Ottokar II of Bohemia, who reigned from 1253 to 1278. Ottokar II, also known as the Iron and Golden King, was a pivotal figure in Central European history, known for his ambitious expansionist policies and efforts to consolidate the Bohemian state.

Peter Parler, born in 1333 in Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany, was a master architect and sculptor who played a crucial role in shaping the Gothic architectural landscape of Central Europe. He was appointed as the master builder of St. Vitus Cathedral in 1356, where he succeeded Matthias of Arras. Parler's work on the cathedral, including the Tomb of Ottokar II, is celebrated for its innovative design and intricate detailing, which exemplify the High Gothic style.

The tomb itself is a masterpiece of medieval sculpture, characterized by its elaborate carvings and the use of high-quality materials. It features a life-sized effigy of King Ottokar II, depicted in regal attire, lying in repose. The effigy is surrounded by a richly decorated canopy, adorned with Gothic tracery and sculptural elements that reflect the artistic trends of the period. The tomb's base is intricately carved with scenes from the king's life and allegorical figures, symbolizing virtues and other abstract concepts.

The Tomb of Ottokar II not only serves as a memorial to a significant historical figure but also stands as a testament to Peter Parler's artistic genius and his contribution to Gothic art and architecture. It remains an important cultural and historical artifact, attracting scholars and visitors alike who seek to understand the legacy of both the king and the artist.
