EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning page from the "Book of Hours (Use of Rouen): fol. 83v, c. 1470" created by the Master of the Geneva Latini. Dating back to the late 15th century, this masterpiece offers a glimpse into Rouen's flourishing book production during that era. Rouen, with its esteemed cathedral and prosperous chapter, played a pivotal role in commissioning exquisite books and maintaining an extensive library. The city became a hub for stationers and booksellers who likely thrived within or near the cathedral precinct. The artist behind this remarkable work was named after a manuscript now housed in Geneva, solidifying their status as Rouen's principal illuminator during the latter half of the 1400s. Using ink, tempera, gold on vellum, and their exceptional skills in manuscript illumination techniques, they brought forth intricate details and vibrant colors that still captivate viewers today. This particular image captures not only the artistry but also provides insight into daily life during that period. It serves as a testament to both religious devotion and artistic excellence prevalent in medieval France. Preserved at The Cleveland Museum of Art under Heritage Art/Heritage Images' care, this print allows us to appreciate the historical significance and beauty encapsulated within each delicate stroke made by the Master of Geneva Latini.
