The monumental polyptych attributed to the anonymous artistic personality of the Master of the Crivelleschi Polyptychs (a name derived from its descent from the school that originated with the painter Carolo Crivelli, active in the mid-15th century in theAdriatic basin) constitutes an example of the lively cultural climate in L’Aquila at the end of the 15th century.
