Bonisoli (Or Bonizoli), Agostino,

an Italian painter, was born at Cremona in 1633, and studied under Battista Tortiroli, and afterwards for some time under M. A. Bonisoli. His works were principally easel pictures of sacred subjects. The only large picture by him is the Dispute between St. Antonio and the Tyrant Ezzelino, in the Conventuali at Cremona. He died in 1700. See Spooner, Biog.
