Polyptychs: one image across multiple stones
For an understanding of the ‘tych’s’: A Diptych is an artwork made of two separate panels. A Triptych is the same, but with three panels. And the more complex ones with four, five or even dozens of panels are called Polyptychs, from the Greek words “poly-” meaning many and “ptychē” meaning fold. This art form was very popular in the early Renaissance and primarily used in religious art – Nick thinks he should have been born in the Renaissance period, he would have made a decent IT specialist.
Images that work in polyptych form include landscapes, architecture and images with depth. Although, as you can see above in the carousel, we have managed to include faces and Jimmy Stynes (AFL Melbourne Football Club Great) in full flight.
