Book of Hours (Use of Rouen): fol. 144v, 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. 144v" 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 playing a pivotal role in commissioning exquisite manuscripts and maintaining an extensive library. The artist behind this masterpiece earned their name from a manuscript now housed in Geneva, solidifying their status as Rouen's foremost illuminator during the latter half of the 15th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors on display here are testament to their exceptional skill. Crafted using gold on vellum, ink, tempera, and other materials typical of that era, this artwork embodies the rich heritage of French manuscript illumination. Its delicate brushwork and meticulous attention to detail transport us back in time to an age when books were meticulously handcrafted treasures. Preserved within The Cleveland Museum of Art's collection today, this print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic mastery but also offers insight into Rouen's thriving book industry during one of history's most transformative periods. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these works continue to inspire awe and admiration for both their beauty and historical significance.
