Sluter probably worked in Brussels before moving to the city of Dijon , where from 1385 to 1389 he was the assistant of Jean De Marville , Court Sculptor to Philip The Bold, Duke Of Burgundy . From 1389 to his death he was Court Sculptor himself. He was succeeded by his nephew Claus De Werve . He was the most important northern European sculptor of his age. He restored figural sculpture to its former classical era monumental scale and naturalism. He is considered a pioneer of "northern realism". His most famous surviving work is the ''Well of Moses'' (1395–1403), created for a Carthusian Monastery built by Philip the Bold near Dijon. Sluter was also responsible for part of the work on Philip's tomb. REFERENCES |
