Diptych

The diptych was a common format in medieval religious imagery.  Two related images side by side. 
In Early Netherlandish painting they depicted subjects ranging from secular portraiture to religious personages and stories.  Some modern artists have used the term in the title of works consisting of two paintings never actually connected, but intended to be hung close together as a pair, such as Andy Warhol’s Marilyn Diptych (1962), which is a modern pop culture icon.  More recently diptychs have become a popular genre of photography.

Examples of diptychs

Notice the different ways that each photograph is related to the other in the diptychs.


You can create a diptych simply putting two separate photographs side by side.  Alternatively, you can create one image with both photographs and a border using Photoshop or similar software.  


You can even create Triptychs (3 photos) or any kind of polyptych.
