Book of Hours (Use of Rouen): fol. 29v

Master of the Geneva Latini

Cleveland Museum of Art

An illuminated manuscript page with text on the right and an illuminated border on the left. The border on the left side features blue, gold, red, green, and white floral designs on a cream-colored background. The floral design consists of intertwining stems with leaves and flowers. The text on the right side of the page is written in black ink in an old-fashioned calligraphy style. The text is in Latin and appears to be written in a medieval script. The page has a worn, aged appearance with subtle discoloration and texture. The right side of the image has a thin strip down the right side, suggesting a fold or crease. The overall design and style suggest a 15th-century manuscript. The image shows a clear distinction between the decorative border and the text. The color palette is muted with a focus on earth tones and metallic gold. The image displays a single page from a book, likely a religious text.
