Book of Hours (Use of Rouen): fol. 10v, c. 1470. In the late 1400s and early 1500s Rouen was an established and important center of book production. The citys cathedral had a wealthy chapter that spent large sums of money to commission books and to maintain its extensive library. The stationers and booksellers would have likely been concentrated in or near the cathedral precinct. This artist, named after a manuscript now in Geneva, was Rouens principal illuminator during the second half of the 1400s

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the "Book of Hours (Use of Rouen): fol. 10v" created around 1470 by the talented Master of the Geneva Latini. During this period, Rouen emerged as a prominent hub for book production, with its cathedral serving as a patron to commission exquisite manuscripts and maintain an extensive library. The artist behind this masterpiece was named after a manuscript now housed in Geneva and was recognized as Rouen's principal illuminator during the latter half of the 15th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors on display here are testament to their exceptional skill and craftsmanship. Rendered on vellum using ink, tempera, and gold, this manuscript exemplifies the artistry prevalent in French heritage during that era. Each stroke reveals meticulous attention to detail, creating an enchanting visual narrative that transports viewers back in time. As we admire this print today at The Cleveland Museum of Art, it serves as a window into history—a glimpse into both religious devotion and artistic excellence. It is fascinating to imagine how such precious books were cherished by their owners centuries ago. Heritage Images has beautifully captured this extraordinary piece through photography, allowing us to appreciate its beauty even if we cannot hold it in our hands. This image reminds us of the enduring power of art to transcend time and connect us with our cultural heritage.
