He appears as one of the masters of the late-Gothic French style in the sculptures he executed in Dijon, where he moved, like Jean de Marville, from his native Low Countries, before 1385. His most important works are, besides the famous Well of Moses in the Charterhouse of Champmol where the theme of the Fountain of Blood and Redemption is developed, the tomb of Philip the Bold, now in the Dijon Museum, which he began but was completed after his death by Claus de Werve, and the portal of the same Charterhouse of Champmol. This is one of the most distinguished monuments of Burgundian sculpture of that age for the plastic realism of the images animated by a sense of fiery oratory that reaches the heights of the most inspired lyricism.
The influence exerted by Sluter on contemporary sculpture was vast and spread beyond the borders of Burgundy, then one of the most lively centers of plastic art in Central Europe. - See pl. LI.
