Book of Hours (Use of Rouen): fol. 95v, 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. 95v" 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 and custodian of an extensive library. The illuminated manuscript on display exemplifies the exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail that characterized Rouen's bookmaking industry during the late 15th century. The artist's mastery is evident in their delicate brushwork, intricate use of gold leaf, and vibrant colors rendered in ink and tempera on velvety vellum. As we delve into this enchanting artwork, we are transported back in time to experience the rich cultural heritage preserved within its pages. Through these meticulously illustrated texts, medieval readers sought solace, guidance, and spiritual connection during their daily devotions. The Master of the Geneva Latini earned their name from a manuscript now housed in Geneva but was undoubtedly one of Rouen's most celebrated illuminators during this era. Their work not only adorned religious texts but also reflected the city's flourishing intellectual community. Today, thanks to Heritage Art/Heritage Images' meticulous preservation efforts captured in this stunning photo print, we can appreciate both the artistic brilliance behind this masterpiece and gain insight into Rouen's significant role in shaping medieval European culture.
