Statue of Phillips Brooks, Bronze statue in Copley Square, Boston, US
The statue presents Phillips Brooks in a preaching position with his arms elevated, accompanied by a figure of Jesus beside Trinity Church.
Augustus Saint-Gaudens created this memorial in 1907, marking Brooks' contribution as Trinity Church rector from 1869 to 1891.
The monument represents Brooks' dedication to social justice and religious leadership, standing as a central element in Boston's religious heritage.
The bronze and marble monument measures 17 feet in height and contains inscriptions detailing Brooks' birth, death, and dedication dates.
The statue sparked a 1919 Massachusetts Supreme Court case regarding its potential relocation, resulting in a ruling protecting its placement.
