A triptych is an image made up of three sections.
‘Such constructions are usually made of two ‘wings’ or ‘shutters’ attached to either side of a central panel. Sometimes the panels are hinged so that the wings can be closed to protect the major image painted in the middle.’
Below is my triptych of my 3 objects which someone has given me and they all relate in the element of fire. (Nationalgallery.org.uk, 2016)
