The Dutch artist Claus Sluter was one of the most important sculptors of his age, and one of his most revered works is the Well of Moses in Dijon. The monumental sculpture was his masterpiece and was created in his workshop for the Cartusian monastery of Chartreuse de Champmol between 1395 and 1403. The original structure comprised for elements: a well that was filled with water channeled from the nearby river Ouche, a cross which rose from the center, a terrace, and a pier adorned with prophets and angels such as Zachariah, Isaiah, Moses, David, and Daniel. After surviving the French Revolution and years of weather damage, only the base with the sculptures remain in the Hospital de la Chartreuse for people to see.
