Diptychs and Triptychs

Diptychs and triptychs come from the Greek meaning two- (dip) or three- (trip) fold (tych) and historically refer to any objects or works of art that are divided into panels and hinged together. Heavily used for religious iconography in churches and cathedrals from the Middle Ages on.

Diptychs and triptychs in today’s art world are simply a creative continuation of a piece of art on two or more individually framed pieces.They create a complete story when hung side-by-side and really add impact when hung together horizontally.

you can hang diptych or triptych close together, so they are almost touching or with 1 1/2 to 3 inches space in-between, to fit your wall space and personal preference.
