Looking at the  special form of a triptych  I consider this the beauty of it; a triptych is playful, visually exciting, it can be closed by the hinged panels and an inspiring text can be painted on it. A triptych could be considered as the predecessor in medieval times of the contemporary slide-show.
By dividing the painting in three pieces, each part gets a life of its own, while they are really   inextricably interconnected with each other. A triptych has a story to tell and a good triptych becomes a 'holistic story'. The original tradition of a triptych has its roots in the Christian theology and The Holy Trinity.<br><img src='http://www.artq.net/artImages/11/LYIB5413521122028831.jpg'><br>]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Petekind]]></title><link>http://www.artq.net/ArtView.asp?artwork_id=LFDH5413521122031229</link><description><![CDATA[My niece and godchild Elena, her face is so uniquely interesting to paint, that for many years she will still be a model.

Her striking profile challenged me to make this portrait, with on the background the surroundings of a village in the Jura
An example for me are the paintings of Pyke Koch (Dutch realistic painter) on which this painting is inspired.<br><img src='http://www.artq.net/artImages/11/OYNB5413521122032421.jpg'><br>]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Iris]]></title><link>http://www.artq.net/ArtView.asp?artwork_id=REGW5413521122035436</link><description><![CDATA[Iris, the magic cat in her realistic pose.
