Borrassà, Luis
Borrassà, Luis (b Girona, active 1380; d Barcelona, 1424/5). Spanish painter, active mainly in Barcelona and its neighbourhood. About a dozen of his documented works survive, for example the altarpiece for the convent of S. Clara, Vich (1412–15, Vich Mus.), and about twenty more are attributed to him on stylistic evidence, making him the most prolific Catalan painter of his day. His work shows French and Sienese influences and is representative of the International Gothic style.
