Book of Hours (Use of Rouen): fol. 81v, 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. 81v, 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 illuminated manuscript displayed in this image is a testament to the artistic brilliance that flourished in Rouen during the late 15th century and early 16th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors depicted on vellum using ink, tempera, and gold exemplify the masterful craftsmanship employed by the artist. Named after a manuscript now housed in Geneva, this particular illuminator was renowned as Rouen's principal artist during this era. Their skillful brushstrokes brought life to religious texts like never before, capturing both spiritual devotion and aesthetic beauty within each page. As we gaze upon this stunning piece of heritage art preserved by The Cleveland Museum of Art, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the flourishing culture surrounding book production in medieval France. It serves as a reminder of how artistry can transcend centuries and continue to captivate audiences today.
