''Paternoster'', also known as ''Shepherd and Sheep'' or ''Shepherd with his Flock'', is an outdoor 1975 bronze sculpture by Elisabeth Frink, installed in Paternoster Square near St Paul's Cathedral in London, United Kingdom. The statue measures . It depicts a shepherd herding five sheep. The subject of the statue reflects the former use of Paternoster Row as the site of Newgate Market for the sale of livestock and meat, and may also have theological overtones reflecting its position in the shadow of St Paul's Cathedral. The statue was commissioned by Trafalgar House for the north side of its 1960s development at Paternoster Square. It unveiled in July 1975 by Yehudi Menuhin. Around the same time, Trafalgar House also commissioned Frink's ''Horse and Rider'' statue for Dover Street on Piccadilly. It was removed in 1997 to a temporary location on London Wall near the Museum of London while the site was redeveloped, and was reinstalled in 2003 on a new Portland stone plinth after the redevelopment was completed. A series of eight smaller statues was created in the 1980s. One example at All Saints Church in Great Thurlow in Suffolk, in memory of Ronald Vestey. Frink was born nearby, in Little Thurlow. ==See also== * 1975 in art 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paternoster (sculpture)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
