The Well of Moses is a remarkable example of late medieval sculpture located in the Chartreuse de Champmol, near Dijon, France. Created by the Dutch artist Claus Sluter around the turn of the 15th century, this monumental work originally served as the base of a crucifixion scene. The structure features six life-sized figures of Old Testament prophets—Moses, David, Jeremiah, Zechariah, Daniel, and Isaiah—each intricately carved and vividly detailed. These statues, notable for their expressive realism and individual character, surround a hexagonal pedestal, which once supported a large crucifix.
