Question: 1 / 400

What is the definition of a diptych?

A depiction of a religious figure

An architectural structure

A painting representing two scenes

A two-panel piece of art

A diptych is a piece of art consisting of two panels that are hinged together. Option A is incorrect because a painting or piece of art can still be considered a diptych even if it does not depict a religious figure. Option B is incorrect because although diptychs were originally used for religious purposes in churches, they are not exclusively architectural structures. Option C is incorrect because a diptych does not necessarily have to represent two separate scenes, it can also be a single cohesive image split into two panels. Thus, the most accurate definition of a diptych is D a two-panel piece of art.
