A triptych, coming from the Greek word for three fold, is a work of art, usually a panel painting that is divided into three panels. A new book takes a closer look at the antique artform. Ozarks at Large’s Kyle Kellams spoke with University of Arkansas art historian and assistant professor Lynn Jacobs about her new book, which attempts to reinterpret the early Netherelandish triptych.
