Book of Hours (Use of Rouen): fol. 146r, 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. 146r, c. 1470" created by the Master of the Geneva Latini in France during the late 15th century. During this time, Rouen emerged as a prominent hub for book production, with its cathedral playing a vital role in commissioning and maintaining an extensive library. The artist behind this masterpiece was named after a manuscript currently housed in Geneva and served as Rouen's principal illuminator during the latter half of the 1400s. The intricate details and vibrant colors depicted on vellum using ink, tempera, and gold exemplify their exceptional craftsmanship. As we delve into this image, we are transported back to an era where books were meticulously handcrafted treasures. The delicate brushstrokes bring to life scenes that inspire devotion and reflection within religious communities. It is fascinating to imagine how these precious manuscripts would have been treasured by their owners - perhaps members of Rouen's wealthy chapter or devout individuals seeking solace through prayerful contemplation. Today, thanks to Heritage Art/Heritage Images' dedication to preserving cultural heritage, we can admire this remarkable piece from afar. This print serves as a testament to both the artistic skill of the Master of the Geneva Latini and Rouen's significant contribution to medieval book production.
