Book of Hours (Use of Rouen): fol. 147v, 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. 147v" 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 commission lavish manuscripts and maintain an extensive library. The artist behind this masterpiece was renowned in Rouen during the latter half of the 15th century, earning their name from a manuscript now housed in Geneva. The intricate illuminations on display here demonstrate their exceptional skill and attention to detail. Crafted using ink, tempera, and gold on vellum, this exquisite manuscript exemplifies the rich heritage of French artistry. Each stroke reveals meticulous craftsmanship that brings to life scenes from religious texts or devotional prayers. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to an era when books were treasured possessions and works of art themselves. This particular page offers us a glimpse into both the cultural significance placed on literature during that period and the immense talent possessed by artists like Master of the Geneva Latini. Preserved within The Cleveland Museum of Art's collection, this print allows us to appreciate not only its historical value but also serves as a testament to humanity's enduring love affair with storytelling and artistic expression.
