The 15th century began with dazzling paintings on pure gold grounds, including the Beffi Triptych (1410-1415), attributed to Leonardo di Sabino of Teramo. Evidence of the early Renaissance in Abruzzo includes paintings by Andrea Delitio and wooden sculptures by Giovanni di Biasuccio and Silvestro dell’Aquila (Saint Sebastian, 1478). Among the paintings with Franciscan subjects and patrons, the polyptych depicting Saint John of Capestrano and Stories from His Life stands out. It is the work of an unknown master of complex culture, who is also credited with the painting of Saint Francis Receiving the Stigmata.
