Book of Hours (Use of Rouen): fol. 139r, 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. 139r" 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 and custodian of an extensive library. The image depicts intricate illuminations rendered in gold on vellum, showcasing the masterful skills and attention to detail employed by the artist. The use of ink and tempera adds depth and richness to the composition, enhancing its visual appeal. The Master of the Geneva Latini earned their name from a manuscript now housed in Geneva, solidifying their position as Rouen's principal illuminator during the latter half of the 15th century. Their work exemplifies both technical expertise and artistic finesse. This remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into medieval France's cultural heritage, reflecting not only religious devotion but also highlighting Rouen's significance as an intellectual center. Preserved within The Cleveland Museum of Art's collection, this photograph allows viewers to appreciate centuries-old craftsmanship that continues to inspire awe today. As we admire this exquisite print from Heritage Images, we are reminded of how artistry transcends time and connects us with our rich historical past.
