As Maestro dei Baldraccani ( Italian for master of Baldraccani ) a painter is called, probably in the late 15th century from 1480 to 1510 in northern Italy in the region of Emilia-Romagna worked. The artist, who is not known by name, got his emergency name from the coat of arms of the Baldraccani family, which can be found on an altarpiece under the pictures attributed to the master through a comparison of styles. The picture was found in modern times in the Muti-Bussi collection in Rome.

The Baldraccani aristocratic family lived in Forlì , a city in Emilia-Romagna.

Stylistically, the Maestro dei Baldraccani is close to the painter Melozzo da Forlì (1438–1494) and his successor Marco Palmezzano (1456–1539), both of whom came from Forli and worked there at least temporarily. The Maestro dei Baldraccani is, like her, counted among the group of painters from Forli, which is sometimes summarized under the term “School of Forli” and represents a typical local Renaissance style of painting. The forerunner of this school is counted as the painter Baldassare Carrari the Elder , who worked in Forli around 1354 , allegedly a pupil of Giotto di Bondone , the pioneer of the Italian Renaissance. Carrari is said to have brought the influence of the Renaissance in painting from Forli first.

The master of Baldraccani can possibly be identified with the painter Leone Cobelli from Forli.
