What is a "triptych"?
A triptych is a type of artwork made up of three separate panels or sections that are usually connected together. When displayed side by side, these panels form a single, unified image or theme. Triptychs are often used to tell a story, show related scenes, or create a larger, more complex visual effect. They can be found in various art forms, including paintings, photographs, and sculptures, and are traditionally used in religious or ceremonial contexts.
