Book of Hours (Use of Rouen): fol. 29v, 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. 29v" 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 intricate details and vibrant colors on this illuminated manuscript exemplify the exquisite craftsmanship that flourished in Rouen during the late 15th century. The artist's skillful use of gold leaf, ink, and tempera on velum brings to life scenes from religious texts within this Book of Hours. As we delve into this masterpiece, we are transported back in time to witness the devotion and piety that permeated medieval society. Each stroke of the brush tells a story - stories that were cherished by those who sought solace or guidance through prayer. The Master of the Geneva Latini's name is derived from another manuscript now housed in Geneva, Switzerland. This particular artist was revered as Rouen's principal illuminator during the latter half of the 1400s. Preserved at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this photograph print allows us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also marvel at its artistic brilliance. It serves as a testament to both human creativity and spirituality throughout centuries past.
