Sebastiano Folli (1568–1621) was an
Italian painter of the late
Renaissance period. He was a scholar of
Alessandro Casolano, and a native of
Siena. He distinguished himself by several
frescoes in the churches at Siena, particularly the
cupola of Santa Marta, and some subjects from the Life of St. Sebastian, in the church of that saint, painted in competition with
Rutilio Manetti, to whose pictures they are in no way inferior. He visited Rome, and was employed in some considerable works for the Cardinal de' Medici, afterwards
Leo XI. He died in 1621.
