Art History Terms to Know: Triptychs
A triptych is a Greek word meaning "three-fold". In art, a triptych is a series of three separate panels, usually hinged together. For a work to be a triptych, it must 1) have three, obvious parts and 2) have a progression of plot or the story must develop across the panels. The idea of a triptych was born in the Christian Middle Ages and was continued!
