Johannes Borman (1620–1679), was a Dutch Golden Age still life painter.

Biography

He was born in The Hague, and may have been related to Abraham Borman, a landscape painter from the Hague.[1] Johannes worked in Leiden during the years 1653-1658, where he became a member of the Leiden Guild of St. Luke.[1] In 1659 he moved to Amsterdam where he signed in as poorter, declaring that he was a painter in the Hague.[1] He is known for fruit and flower still lifes.[1]
