Description

Realistic acrylic painting made by the Dutch fine artist Paul Meijering of the sculpture the Moses Well by the sculptor Claus Sluter - The original painting is 120 x 90 cm and available for purchase.

Claus Sluter (Haarlem, circa 1350 - Dijon, 1406) was a sculptor from the county of Holland. In modern sources his first name is also written as Klaas or Claes. He is considered the founder of Dutch sculpture, but from 1385 he worked at the Burgundian court in Dijon. Because he distanced himself from established styles and painted people realistically, he is considered a great innovator who paved the way for the realism of the Flemish Primitives and the Van Eyck brothers.

The Moses Well is a late medieval sculpture by Claus Sluter that was located in the Chartreuse de Champmol monastery near Dijon. It is considered one of the most important works by Sluter, a Gothic artist who was already very attentive to realism and plasticity. Sluter was a Dutchman who entered the service of Philip the Bold in 1385.

On this detail of the Moses well, the prophet Daniel is shown on the left and the prophet Isaiah on the right. In the foreground left is a self-portrait of the sculptor Claus Sluter with a hammer and pick.
