Lluís Borrassà

He was employed by the Crown of Aragon and is widely considered to have introduced the International Gothic painting style into the Principality of Catalonia.

[1] He learned painting from his father, Honorat Borrassà, and is first documented in 1380 as a member of the court of John I of Aragon, who was known for bringing prominent artists there.

Other notable works included pieces depicting the Archangel Gabriel for Barcelona Cathedral; one with the Virgin Mary and St. George for the convent church of St. Francis in Vilafranca del Penedès; and a Clare of Assisi for the convent of the Poor Clares.

Also notable is a Burial of Jesus for the predella at the Collegiate Church of Santa María in Manresa, from 1408.
