"The term triptych comes from the Greek word âtriptykhosâ, which translates to mean âthree-layeredâ. The idea of three pieces creating layers and adding depth to a single artwork is central to some of the most famous and enduring triptychs throughout the history of art.
The triptych first made its appearance in the Middle Ages, adorning the altarpieces of churches. Relaying stories of the bible and functioning to aid prayer, triptychs were an important way of visualising Christianity and showing devotion.
Common subjects in 14th and 15th century, triptychs were images of the Madonna and child, the birth of Jesus and the crucifixion. Often finished with a grand and stately frame, many triptychs still exist as the focal point of the altarpiece."
