Book of Hours (Use of Rouen): fol. 104r, 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 precious piece of history - the Book of Hours (Use of Rouen): fol. 104r, created around 1470 by the talented Master of the Geneva Latini. During this time, Rouen emerged as a prominent hub for book production, with its cathedral playing a pivotal role in commissioning and preserving valuable manuscripts. The city's cathedral boasted an affluent chapter that spared no expense in acquiring exquisite books and maintaining an extensive library. It is believed that stationers and booksellers would have thrived in close proximity to this ecclesiastical center. The artist behind this masterpiece earned their name from a manuscript currently housed in Geneva, solidifying their position as Rouen's primary illuminator during the latter half of the 15th century. The intricate details rendered on vellum using ink, tempera, gold highlight not only their exceptional skill but also reflect the opulence associated with religious texts during this era. Preserved at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this photograph allows us to marvel at the delicate brushwork and rich colors employed by the Master of the Geneva Latini. As we admire this remarkable work, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand how artistry flourished within medieval France.
