In a couple of previous articles we've explored two and three panel works - the diptychs and triptychs. Today we add even more parts and have a look at what is then called a polyptych.

The polyptych is a work of art divided into four or more sections or panels. Originally polyptychs were a technique used for altarpieces, painted or carved, but today the technique of putting multiple parts together to one piece of art, is used in various media and forms and the variations are endless. Of course dA is filled with great examples of just how creative one can get with polyptychs.

So without further ado please have a look at the beautiful pieces in this selection and go and shower the artists with comments and favs






















These feature articles are a warm-up for an upcoming regular feature. So if you can't get enough of tychs then keep an eye on the news section
