Book of Hours (Use of Rouen): fol. 82v, 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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the "Book of Hours (Use of Rouen): fol. 82v" created around 1470 by the talented Master of the Geneva Latini. During this period, Rouen flourished as a prominent hub for book production, with its cathedral playing a pivotal role in commissioning and maintaining an extensive library. The illuminated manuscript depicted here is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship and artistic finesse that characterized Rouen's bookmaking industry during the late 15th century. Painted on vellum using delicate strokes of ink, tempera, and gold leaf, this masterpiece reflects both French heritage and cultural significance. The artist behind this work remains unnamed but is known as the Master of the Geneva Latini due to another manuscript associated with their name now residing in Geneva. Renowned as Rouen's principal illuminator during the latter half of the 1400s, their skillful hand brought life to countless pages like this one. As we admire this image captured by Heritage Art/Heritage Images, we are transported back in time to witness not only an extraordinary piece of art but also glimpse into Rouen's rich history as a center for book production. The intricate details and vibrant colors invite us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance within France's cultural tapestry.
