Book of Hours (Use of Rouen): fol. 94r, 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. 94r" created around 1470 by the Master of the Geneva Latini, an esteemed French illuminator. During this period, Rouen flourished as a prominent hub for book production, with its cathedral playing a central role in commissioning and preserving valuable manuscripts. The city's cathedral chapter, known for its wealth and patronage, spared no expense in acquiring exquisite books and maintaining an extensive library. It is likely that stationers and booksellers were concentrated in or near the cathedral precinct, contributing to Rouen's reputation as a thriving center for literary arts. The artist behind this masterpiece earned their name from a manuscript now housed in Geneva. They served as Rouen's principal illuminator during the latter half of the 15th century, showcasing exceptional skill in combining ink, tempera, gold on vellum to create breathtaking illustrations. Preserved with utmost care at The Cleveland Museum of Art today, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of France. Its intricate details and vibrant colors speak volumes about the craftsmanship that went into producing such religious texts during this era. As we admire this photograph print by Heritage Art/Heritage Images, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also recognize it as a testament to Rouen's significant contribution to medieval book artistry.
