Book of Hours (Use of Rouen): fol. 123v, 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. 123v" 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 city's flourishing stationers and booksellers likely thrived in close proximity to the grandeur of the cathedral precinct. The Master of the Geneva Latini, named after one of his remarkable works now housed in Geneva, was hailed as Rouen's foremost illuminator during the latter half of the 15th century. Rendered on vellum using ink, tempera, and gold accents, this manuscript exemplifies exceptional craftsmanship and artistic finesse. Each stroke reveals meticulous attention to detail that breathes life into every intricate illustration adorning its pages. As we delve into this enchanting piece from France's heritage art collection at The Cleveland Museum of Art, we are transported back in time to experience both religious devotion and aesthetic splendor intertwined within these ancient texts. This print allows us to appreciate not only the skillful mastery behind its creation but also offers a glimpse into Rouen's rich cultural legacy as a center for illuminated manuscripts during this era.
