Diptych refers to a pair artworks that are framed as one complete piece and would typically depict a singular image when closed. The term has historical significance as it was commonly featured in religious art during the Middle Ages, when diptychs were designed as altar pieces. Painters like Hans Memling and Rogier van der Weyden were notable figures of the diptych during the Renaissance period which saw a renewed popularity of this art form. The diptych format gives the artist an opportunity to combine adjacent panels and formulate a visual dialogue by creatively contrasting or blending art. Each panel can independently exist as an individual piece and independently contribute to the overall narrative. Notable contemporary artists such as Francis Bacon and Andy Warhol have simply painted diptyches using their own techniques and styles. A diptych is one of the most captivating artistic formats that is attention engaging, dualistic and historically significant. Its ability to portray complicated stories and comparisons makes it a handy and ageless form within the realm of visual arts.
