Claus Sluter
Well of Moses
1395 - 1406
Sluter executed at the end of the fourteenth century a large fountain (called Well of Moses) in the Carthusian monastery (Chartreuse de Champmol). The monastery was intended to be the burying place of the Prince of Burgundy, Philip the Bold and his family. The monastery was destroyed during the French revolution, but the hexagonal base with the figures of the six prophets who had foreseen the death of Christ on the Cross (Moses, David, Jeremiah, Zachariah, Daniel and Isaiah) survived.

The Très Riches Heures is the classic example of a medieval book of hours. This was a collection of the text for each liturgical hour of the day - hence the name - which often included other, supplementary, texts. Calendars, prayers, psalms and masses for certain holy days were commonly included.

Major Themes of the Era
• Scholars & artists become fascinated with classical antiquity – its art, literature and other forms of culture.
• A new interest in the natural world as artists search for ways to depict what and how we see – fields of science, medicine and engineering are of special interest to the pioneering thinkers of the time.
![Page 75: Early northern](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102711/554faa67b4c90586258b4e7b/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
• Patronage of the church provided financial support for artwork, and artists portray humans and their environment in a realistic manner when visually interpreting biblical texts.
• Concerns of the era are humanist concerns – a worldview focused on human beings, their potential, achievement and subsequent civic responsibility.
