Description

In the central panel, cuspidate, the Virgin enthroned with the Child portrayed is depicted playing amiably with the transparent veil that descends from the head of the Mother. The painting reveals a subtle grace combined with a keen attention to realistic elements. On the left, starting from the top, are represented: The announcement to the shepherds, The Nativity and the bath of the Child with the kneeling figure of the client; right, starting from below: The Death of the Virgin with the Jewish high priest Ananias at the bottom right, who, having tried to overturn the Virgin's coffin, was left with crooked and paralyzed hands, The Ascension of Mary's soul into heaven and The Coronation. The painting commonly known as the Triptych of Beffi from the name of the nearby locality, was attributed to a follower of Taddeo di Bartolo (Siena 1362 / 63-1422), a distinguished exponent of Sienese painting in the late 14th century, who prefers a plasticity and a chromatism close to the taste of transalpine late Gothic painting and identifiable with the Master of the frescoes of the Church of S. Silvestro in L'Aquila. The same circle included Andrea Delitio, the Master of the Caldora Chapel and Giovanni da Sulmona.
