Master of the Beffi Triptych
Title
Leaf from an Antiphonary: Coronation of the Virgin
Description
The illuminator’s name is unknown, but his skill gained him the name of the Master of Beffi after his work on a triptych hung behind the altar of the Church of Santa Maria del Ponte in the tiny village of Beffi in Abruzzo. It was painted in the early 15th century, possibly by a follower of the Sienese artist Taddeo di Bartolo. Works by the Master of the Beffi Triptych are distinctive for their lively narrative detail, highly expressive figures, and brilliant colors. In addition to panel paintings, this anonymous master illuminated manuscripts and also created frescoes. He is unanimously identified with the painter who frescoed the vault and walls of the presbytery of the church of San Silvestro in L’Aquila at the beginning of the 15th century.
