A triptych is devided in three sections, usually in three panels. Traditionally, the middle panel is the focus of the three and thus sometimes is a bit larger. Thematically the panels can be connected any which way you want.
Here are a few examples for different treatments:
The same subject – interpreted three times.
Three panels of the same thing – through the lens of time.
One building stretched over three panels.
Three of a kind and not of a kind.
Ordinarily, a triptych has three vertical panels but horizontal works as well.
And finally, an action triptych – the traditional form varied to have one of the side panels bigger than the other two.
With what variations can you come up? Have fun playing around!
