"Borea Rapisce Orizia" (also known as "The Rape of Orithyia by Boreas") is a renowned 18th-century oil painting by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, an Italian painter and printmaker from the Republic of Venice. Born into a family of artists, Giovanni Domenico was the son of the famous Giovanni Battista Tiepolo and carried on the family tradition of painting in the Rococo style, which was characterized by its ornate and decorative elements.

The painting depicts the mythological tale from ancient Greek lore, where Boreas, the god of the north wind, abducts Orithyia, the daughter of Erechtheus, king of Athens. According to the myth, Boreas fell in love with Orithyia but, after his advances were rejected, he chose to seize her as she was playing by the Ilissos River, carrying her off to Thrace. This dramatic scene has been a popular subject for artists throughout history, capturing the raw emotion and movement inherent in the tale.

Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo's interpretation of the story is noted for its dynamic composition and the skillful use of color and light, which imbue the scene with a sense of movement and drama. The painting showcases Tiepolo's mastery of depicting figures in motion and his ability to convey the grandeur of mythological subjects.

"Borea Rapisce Orizia" is a significant work within Tiepolo's oeuvre and contributes to our understanding of the Rococo style in Venice during the 18th century. It exemplifies the artist's talent for narrative painting and his capacity to translate mythological themes into compelling visual art. The painting is an important piece for both its artistic merit and its representation of the cultural and mythological interests of the period in which it was created.
