does anyone know of an artist famous for creating tryptics ? thats three seperate designs that make one design

Question

normally there are three panels and each panel is similar but they all go together to create a final design, im thinking sort of jasper johns etc ?

Answer 1

All the Flemish and Dutch Primitives (Breughel, De Vlaeminck, etc) have painted triptycs or diptycs. It was a way to include a picture of the donator(s) in the painting of a religious subject, without putting them in the main frame, which was a sign of respect towards the religious figures in the middle.

Answer 2

There are a lot of great tryptics, especially by Renaisence artists,but I think the most impresive is The Garden of delights by Geronimuos Bosh (I'm not sure about spelling). He used the idea of a tryptic as three sequences of the same story.We NEED the three parts to understand what he wanted to tell us. Other tryptics are simply a picture split in three parts...

Answer 3

Francis Bacon. Check out the Tate Modern.

Answer 4

Gilbert & George do this sort of thing. Their last exhibition was based around religious icongraphy, with their inimitable twist on things, as usual.

Also you could try looking at early religious art - many artists produced tryptichs and dyptichs.

Answer 5

Boticelli's beautiful spring tryptich.
