Description:
So, the word "triptych" actually comes from Greek—tri means three, and ptyche means fold. Basically, it's a three-panel artwork that can fold up thanks to hinges. Back in the day, these were big for altar decorations. This one, "Crucifixion with the Virgin," is a real beauty—painted by Pietro Perugino in 1485. It’s got the Virgin Mary, St. John, St. Jerome, and St. Mary Magdalene all gathered around Jesus’ crucifixion. The original’s an oil painting hanging in D.C.’s National Gallery, but this wood-panel version? It’s 9 inches tall and 9.5 inches wide when fully open. Pretty neat, huh?
