n

Artists sometimes create a triptych, a series of three panels that are meant to be displayed together.
You can use the noun triptych to describe three paintings that are deliberately hung together, as one piece, on the walls of an art gallery. Some triptychs are made up of three carved panels, sometimes connected to each other with hinges. The Greek root word, triptykhos, "three-layered," comes from tri, which means "three," and ptykhos, "fold or layer" in Greek. A related artistic term is diptych, which means two panels.
WORD FAMILY
triptych: triptychs
