A triptych is a work of art consisting of three panels hinged together, traditionally used for religious expression during medieval times (410 AD to 1500). Each panel may depict different parts of a story, and triptychs have also evolved into ornamental designs and various modern interpretations. Today, the concept of triptychs is applied to convey emotions, narratives, or perspectives using similar or varied images across the panels.
