Book of Hours (Use of Rouen): fol. 141r, 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. 141r" 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 lavish manuscripts and maintain an extensive library. The artist behind this masterpiece was hailed as Rouen's principal illuminator during the latter half of the 15th century. The manuscript, crafted on vellum using ink, tempera, and gold, exemplifies their exceptional skill in creating intricate and vibrant illustrations. The image captures our attention with its meticulous details and rich colors that have stood the test of time. Every stroke reveals a dedication to craftsmanship and an understanding of storytelling through art. It invites us into a world where religious devotion intertwines with artistic expression. As we admire this piece, we can imagine how it would have been cherished by its original owners - perhaps members of Rouen's wealthy chapter or devout individuals seeking solace in prayer. Today, thanks to Heritage Art/Heritage Images' preservation efforts, we are fortunate enough to witness this historical treasure firsthand. This print not only serves as a testament to the artistic brilliance prevalent in medieval France but also offers us an opportunity to connect with our cultural heritage and appreciate the enduring beauty found within illuminated manuscripts like these.
