Champmol information


Champmol in 1686.[1] The cottage-like hermitages of the monks can be seen surrounding the main cloister, with the Well of Moses in the middle.
Philip the Bold and his wife kneel in the portal of the monastery church. Claus Sluter and workshop.
Each of the choir monks had one of these paintings in his hermitage, probably as the only decoration. Cleveland Museum of Art.

The Chartreuse de Champmol, formally the Chartreuse de la Sainte-Trinité de Champmol, was a Carthusian monastery on the outskirts of Dijon, which is now in France, but in the 15th century was the capital of the Duchy of Burgundy. The monastery was founded in 1383 by Duke Philip the Bold to provide a dynastic burial place for the Valois Dukes of Burgundy,[2] and operated until it was dissolved in 1791, during the French Revolution.

Called "the grandest project in a reign renowned for extravagance",[3] it was lavishly enriched with works of art, and the dispersed remnants of its collection remain key to the understanding of the art of the period.[4]
