[[Image:Harbaville.jpg|thumb|The most famous of Byzantine ivory triptychs: [[Harbaville Triptych]] (10th century)]]
A '''triptych''' ({{pron-en|ˈtrɪptɪk}} {{respell|TRIP|tik}}, from the [[Greek language|Greek]] τρίπτυχο, from ''tri-'' "three" + ''ptychē'' "fold") is a work of [[art]] (usually a [[panel painting]]) which is divided into three sections, or three [[Wood carving|carved]] panels which are hinged together and folded. It is therefore a type of [[polyptych]], the term for all multi-panel works. The middle panel is typically the largest and it is flanked by two smaller related works, although there are triptychs of equal-sized panels.
While the root of the word is the ancient Greek "triptychos", the word arose into the [[medieval period]] from the name for an [[Ancient Rome|Ancient Roman]] writing tablet, which had two hinged panels flanking a central one. The form can also be used for [[pendant]] jewelry.

The triptych form arises from early Christian art, and was a popular standard format for altar paintings from the [[Middle Ages]] onwards. Its geographical range was from the eastern [[Byzantine]] churches to the English Celtic churches in the west. [[Renaissance]] [[Painting|painter]]s and [[sculpture|sculptors]] such as [[Hans Memling]] and [[Hieronymus Bosch]] used the form. Triptych forms also allow ease of transport.
From the [[gothic architecture|Gothic]] period onward, both in Europe and elsewhere, [[altarpiece]]s in [[Church (building)|churches]] and [[cathedral]]s were often in triptych form. One such cathedral with an altarpiece triptych is [[Llandaff Cathedral]]. The [[Cathedral of Our Lady (Antwerp)|Cathedral of Our Lady]] in [[Antwerp (city)|Antwerp]], Belgium, contains two examples by [[Peter Paul Rubens|Rubens]], and [[Notre Dame de Paris]] is another example of the use of triptych in architecture. One can also see the form echoed by the structure of many ecclesiastical [[stained glass window]]s. Although most famous as an altarpiece form, triptyches outside that context have been created, most prominently by Hieronymus Bosch, Max Beckmann, and Francis Bacon.
