A triptych is a painting or
carving that has three side-by-side parts, panels, or canvases. Typically, a
triptych has three hinged panels, the two outer panels designed so that they can
be folded in towards the central one.
This was a common form for an
altarpiece during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The outer parts of such
triptychs were usually hinged to the central panel and could be closed over it.
Each of Celeste's triptych panels
represents a Biblical passage.
