Book of Hours (Use of Rouen): fol. 113r, 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. 113r" created around 1470 by the talented Master of the Geneva Latini in France. 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 image depicts intricate illuminations crafted with ink, tempera, and gold on vellum. The artist's skillful hand brings to life vibrant colors and delicate details that adorn the page. Each stroke reveals their mastery in capturing both religious symbolism and aesthetic beauty. Rouen's influence is evident not only through its prestigious cathedral but also through the concentration of stationers and booksellers near or within its precincts. This manuscript represents the pinnacle of artistic achievement during this era, showcasing Rouen's significance as a center for cultural production. Preserved at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into the rich history of bookmaking in France during the late 15th century. It serves as a testament to both the craftsmanship of Master Geneva Latini and Rouen's enduring legacy as an important city in European art history.
