Description

Created as an image for private devotion or as an altarpiece intended to adorn a noble chapel, the triptych is now missing its original wooden frame. The panels were trimmed in a remote period to standardise their sizes, a process that caused the loss of parts of the Virgin’s throne and the lower frieze, including two now-lost noble coats of arms, later partially recovered through an undated restoration. The triptych was once part of the art gallery housed on the first floor of the Antonelli Dragonetti de Torres Palace on Via Roio in L’Aquila.
