Archangel Gabriel Black and White Photograph

I found this beautiful Archangel Gabriel Statue at the Second Presbyterian Church in Chicago's South Loop neighborhood. It is one of only three churches in Illinois to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a designated Chicago landmark. The official press release issued by the Secretary of the Interior noted that “Second Presbyterian Church represents the visual and philosophical precepts of the turn of the century Arts and Crafts design movement. Its interior, the masterwork of noted architect Howard Van Doren Shaw, presents some of the finest examples of Arts and Crafts mural painting, sculpture, stained glass and crafting in metals, fabrics, wood and plaster.” The sanctuary of the church is widely regarded as one of the largest and best preserved Arts and Crafts interiors in the nation, created in 1900-1901. The sanctuary also contains a wealth of important stained glass windows including nine by the firm of Louis Comfort Tiffany, and two rare English windows designed by Sir Edward Burne-Jones and manufactured by Morris & Company. Overall it is one of the most beautiful churches I have been in. You immediately know everything in it is from a different time.
