Baldini is the first Italian engraver of whom we have some biographical information and to whom we can assign a body of work. Giorgio Vasari, writing in 1550, records that Baldini was a Florentine goldsmith who, not being creative, engraved from the designs of Sandro Botticelli for an edition of Dante's Divine Comedy published in Florence in 1481.
His series of 24 Old Testament Prophets went through three reworkings and issues and were copied, attesting to their influence and popularity.
