Book of Hours (Use of Rouen): fol. 66r, 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. 66r" believed to be created around 1470 by the esteemed Master of the Geneva Latini. During this period, Rouen emerged as a prominent hub for book production, with its cathedral playing a pivotal role in commissioning and preserving valuable manuscripts. The city's affluent chapter spared no expense in acquiring exquisite books and maintaining an extensive library within the cathedral precinct. It is likely that stationers and booksellers thrived in close proximity to this cultural center. The Master of the Geneva Latini, named after a manuscript now housed in Geneva, was revered as Rouen's principal illuminator during the latter half of the 15th century. This particular artwork exemplifies their exceptional skill in using gold on vellum alongside ink and tempera techniques. Preserved with utmost care at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this heritage piece offers us a glimpse into medieval France's rich artistic tradition. Its intricate details and vibrant colors transport us back to an era when illuminated manuscripts played a vital role not only as religious texts but also as works of art. Through this print by Heritage Art/Heritage Images, we can appreciate both the craftsmanship involved in creating such masterpieces and their enduring beauty that continues to captivate viewers centuries later.
