Book of Hours (Use of Rouen): fol. 143v, 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. 143v" created around 1470 by the talented Master of the Geneva Latini. During this period, Rouen flourished as a prominent hub for book production, with its cathedral serving as a patron to numerous commissioned works and housing an extensive library. The artist behind this masterpiece was renowned in Rouen during the latter half of the 15th century. Named after a manuscript now located in Geneva, they were recognized as the city's principal illuminator. The intricate details and vibrant colors displayed on this page exemplify their exceptional skill and craftsmanship. Rendered on vellum using ink, tempera, and gold, this manuscript represents both French heritage art and an invaluable piece of history. It offers us a glimpse into the artistic techniques and religious practices prevalent during that era. Preserved within The Cleveland Museum of Art's collection, this print allows us to appreciate every delicate stroke made by the Master of the Geneva Latini. Its significance lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but also in its contribution to our understanding of medieval book production and illumination techniques.
