What is a diptych or triptych?
A diptych or triptych, originating from the Greek ptykhos meaning to bend, is an artwork made up of panels (either 2 or 3 respectively). While the panels may form a single scene, they sometimes are standalone pieces that are linked through a visual coherence.
In the Middle Ages, the triptych was used to tell stories. Composed of a large central panel and two smaller ones painted on the inside like folding doors, the 3 panels are a reflection of the three individuals of the Christian Holy Trinity. The panels were fitted with hinges to allow their closure and protect the artwork.
Artists either used the triptych to tell a story across different points in time, to demonstrate the progression of a subject or to show multiple points of view.
The Barrel 118 Backstage Lounge is a gorgeous space! The perfect setting for a Valentine’s Date Night! Or a night out with your Galentine. The Barrel 118 Mixologist will do a short demonstration and offer complimentary tastes with additional cocktails available for purchase. Beer and wine also available for purchase.
