The Prague archdiocese has published an effigy of Saint Adalbert iRADIO

The Brazilian Cicero Moraes and his team created a digital image of St. Audrey based on the skull of the saint from the St. Vitus Treasure. It is a relatively detailed three-dimensional documentation. For reconstruction, Moraes uses software intended mainly for doctors who, for example, plan operations in it.

St. Vojtěch lived in the second half of the 10th century, came from the Slavníkov family and was the second archbishop of Prague. Among other things, he was instrumental in founding the Břevnov monastery in Prague.

However, Saint Adalbert is not the first Czech saint that Moraes brought to life in this way. He has already reconstructed the faces of other historical figures – one of them was Saint Ludmila three years ago. According to him, she had a pronounced overbite and blue eyes.

For example, Moraes used the so-called anatomical method to reconstruct it. “It takes advantage of the fact that we have preserved information about the robustness of the facial muscles on the human skull,” geoinformatics scientist Jiří Šindelář described at the time

And then another method is used. For many decades, more than twenty specific points on the face are examined and then the relationship between the bone and the resulting face is determined in those given places.
