14th Century.

The Well of Moses is perhaps one of the most religious pieces of art in the 14th century. It highlights the 6 prophets of old who prophesied of Christ. The piece is done in all stone, by Sluter of France. Originally painted, we can see that over time, the piece has aged, along with some of its original aspects. Some elements of Gothic style are apparent, but the extreme realism of it sets it apart from the previous movement of Gothic-ism.
Although it is now a tourist attraction due to its visual beauty and perfection, the piece was once a religious sculpture that inspired spiritual reverence from those worshiping nearby.
