Add article description

Domenico Falcini (Siena, 8 May 1575-c.1632) was an Italian Renaissance painter and engraver.[1]

Not much is known about Falcini's life except through his works. He primarily painted religious-themed works for church commissions.[2] One work based on an engraving by Falcini The Judgement of Christ, with Nineteen Shields (copy in Uffizi, Florence) is part of the National Inventory of Continental European Paintings collection.[2] It is documented that Falcini applied to the grand-ducal administration in Florence for the privilege of engraving a new single sheet version (the original was three sheets) in 1618.[3]
