Triptychs

 A triptych is defined as a set of three associated artistic, literary, or musical works intended to be appreciated together. 






Above are examples of two different triptychs by the artist Claude Tomas. At first glance, it seems like they are just one image, but if you look more closely there are three separate images in each piece of similar subjects. I love the rich colors in both of these pieces and the interesting textures.




The triptych above is an example of one that is one scene split into three separate images. I love the fact that each image would be beautiful on its own as well as with the other two. The lighting and contrast between black and white make this piece interesting and unique. 




I love that the focus is the same railing in all three images in the piece above, yet it is in a different place in each piece. I also love that in the middle image, the man is facing the camera rather than having his back turned.
