Artist
Giovanni Battista Borra
Giovanni Battista Borra is a Rococo painting artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Giovanni Battista Borra spent years sketching ruins and rivers on the road, notebook always in hand. He once stood on a Turkish hillside for hours to catch the light on the Maeander River at dawn. His watercolors feel like postcards from a stranger’s grand tour: precise enough to map, dreamy enough to linger over.
Look up Güzel Hisar and the River Maeander from 1751, flat, bright, and oddly modern for something so old.
