Book of Hours (Use of Rouen): fol. 9v, 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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning page from the "Book of Hours (Use of Rouen): fol. 9v, c. 1470" created by the Master of the Geneva Latini during the late 15th century in Rouen, France. Known as an established hub for book production during that time, Rouen boasted a wealthy cathedral chapter that spared no expense when it came to commissioning books and maintaining their extensive library. The artist behind this masterpiece earned their name from a manuscript now housed in Geneva and was considered Rouen's principal illuminator during the latter half of the 1400s. The intricate details and vibrant colors displayed on this vellum page are truly mesmerizing. Ink, tempera, gold leaf – all meticulously applied by hand – bring to life delicate floral motifs and ornate borders surrounding beautifully calligraphed text. This work exemplifies the exquisite craftsmanship and artistic skill prevalent in medieval illuminated manuscripts. Preserved at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this print allows us to appreciate the rich heritage and cultural significance embodied within these ancient pages. It serves as a testament to both the dedication of those who produced such works centuries ago and our ongoing fascination with their timeless beauty today.
