CANTOFOLI, GENEVRA,
A Female artist of Bologna, pupil of Elizabeth Sirani. She practised historical painting with success; and in the church of St. Procolo, in Bologna, is a picture by her of the Lord's Supper, of which good judges speak favourably, as they do of some of her other altar-pieces; particularly of St. Tommaso di Villanuovo, in St. Giacomo Maggiore. Her personal history is unknown. She lived in the seventeenth century.
