What is Diptych Wall Art?
A diptych art is a pair of images or relief carvings joined together by hinges that form a single piece. They are generally tiny and, if an altarpiece, were intended for personal devotion.
Some diptychs are hung in such a way that they can be closed like a book, protecting the interior pictures. They are also often shown in the opened position, as a form of proscenium.
The word diptych is from the Greek διπτυχον and has three connotations: two sides (as if they were two leaves), triple-folded tablet, and paired objects.
The origins can be traced to Ancient Egypt, where they were used for small carved wood panels painted with scenes or religious symbols on both sides. They would either stand alone or hang inside an outer frame; such as those found in temples, tombs etc.
— What makes a Good Diptych?
Diptych art is a type of artwork that consists of two images. It can be difficult to tell if diptych art is good, but there are three steps you can take to figure it out!
- Look at the colours used in both images. Are they complementary? If so, the artist should have used colours that work well together.
- Is one image more detailed than the other? If yes, then this may signify an imbalance in focus.
- Check for balance between images by looking at them side-by-side or stacking them on top of each other. Do they look symmetrical?
But as in any other art form, the final word on whether a diptych is a good piece lies with the observer. Therefore, you can decide if it is the art piece you were looking for.
— How do you Frame a Diptych?
Once you have decided to decorate your wall using a diptych art, you have to place it correctly. It is not a hard matter, but it is not as easy as hanging a single wall artwork.
To hang a painting diptych, you must first carefully choose the wall where you will place it. Make sure that the painting is the right size for the room and the chosen wall.
Being the case of a diptych, you also have to take into account the distance between both pieces. The ideal distance between several artworks is 3 to 6 inches.
The majority of our customers agree that the average height is 57 inches, but this depends on your eye level. If you have a different eye level, be sure to take that number into account while hanging artwork.
