Book of Hours (Use of Rouen): fol. 12r, 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

During this period, Rouen emerged as a prominent hub for book production, with its cathedral serving as a patron to commission lavish books and maintain an extensive library. The artist behind this masterpiece was named after a manuscript currently housed in Geneva and was recognized as Rouen's primary illuminator during the latter half of the 15th century.

Crafted using ink, tempera, gold on vellum, this French artwork exemplifies the rich heritage and artistic prowess prevalent in medieval France.
