Italian goldsmith and engraver. According to
Vasari, he was a follower of Maso Finiguerra and engraved a series of 19 prints after designs by
Botticelli. These illustrate an edition of Dantes Divine Comedy published in 1481. A group of prints in the same Fine Manner style is attributed to Baldini. His designs incorporate figures and motifs derived from Botticelli,
Piero Pollaiuolo and also German printmakers, such as the Master E.S. and Martin
Schongauer, but particularly from Finiguerra. Baldinis Fine Manner style developed from Finiguerras niello print technique; the rendering of spatial recession in the large Judgement Hall of Pilate (435 x 598 mm) suggests it was designed by Finiguerra. With the other prints, however, it shares the decorative quality and emphasis on pattern characteristic of Baldini.
