A Biographical Dictionary of the Celebrated Women of Every Age and Country/Panzachia, (Maria-Helena)
PANZACHIA (MARIA-HELENA), a Paintress, of Bologna; born in 1668, of a noble Family.
She acquired great readiness in composition, correctness of outline, and a lovely tint of colouring. Her landscapes are very fine. She painted works for many cities. Her great excellence was, introducing, in delightful scenes, most graceful little figures, that seemed to move, and expressed their different occupations in the most lively manner. She was much honoured and caressed.
