 Hugo Chapman points out that there is "no contemporary reference to Baldini making prints" at all, and Vasari was writing almost a century after his career is supposed to have begun.Whoever the artists were, the prints attributed to Baldini and the drawings in the "Florentine Picture-Chronicle" share "a goldsmith-inspired predeliction for intricate surface pattern and ornament; a rather rudimentary grasp of perspective" (less so in some prints), and a dependence on "Finiguerra-inspired figure types".From about 1460–1490 two styles developed in Florence, which remained the largest centre of Italian engraving.
