Presbyterian Church

Paul’s reflection on a serene moment, possibly outside the iconic Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church in New York City, known for its stunning Gothic architecture and its significant role during the Gilded Age. Throughout this period, the Presbyterian Church not only served as a religious center but also as a social hub for the elite and influential figures of the era. Here, the artist reflects on the dual nature of such buildings—both as places of worship and symbols of the social stratification prevalent during the late 19th century.
