Triptych

A triptych is an artwork divided into three connected panels, often displayed together as a single piece. Traditionally used in religious art, the panels may be hinged for easy viewing or protection. The central panel usually features the main subject, while the side panels complement or provide context. Triptychs can be painted, printed, or crafted in other mediums, and are valued for their narrative or aesthetic impact through the interplay of the three sections. They offer a dynamic way to explore themes, storytelling, or visual contrasts within a unified composition.
