A triptych is a work of art consisting of three panels, usually hinged together side-by-side and often featuring a central panel that is larger than the two flanking it. The term can also refer to any artwork with three sections or components. Triptychs have been used in many different cultures throughout history, from ancient Egypt to medieval Europe and beyond, and are often used for religious purposes, such as altarpieces in churches or shrines, but they can also be used for secular works of art. Triptychs offer artists the opportunity to explore multiple themes within one piece of artwork, allowing them to create complex narratives that span across all three panels.
