The diptych guide

Choosing and hanging a diptych

What is a diptych?

A diptych is a work of art in two panels hung side by side. The word comes from the Greek diptukhos, "folded in two": in antiquity it meant two writing tablets joined by a hinge. In home decor, diptych wall art means two paintings or prints designed to hang together.

Diptych or triptych: which should you choose?

A diptych suits a medium wall, above a console, a desk or a full-size headboard, and puts two works in dialogue. A triptych covers a large wall, the width of a three-seat sofa. Both are matching prints of the same size and layout.

How much wall space does a diptych need?

Two 20-inch-wide prints hung 2 to 3 inches apart span about 42 inches; two 16-inch-wide prints, about 34 inches. Leave 8 to 10 inches between the frames and the furniture.

How do you hang a diptych?

Hang both frames at the same height, level, 2 to 3 inches apart, and center the pair on the furniture or the open wall. With no furniture, put the middle of the frames about 57 inches from the floor.

What do the Sun and Moon tarot cards mean together?

Together, The Moon and The Sun tell the passage from night to day: intuition and doubt on one side, clarity and joy on the other. Their pairing speaks of balance between the unconscious and the conscious.

What do the Empress and Emperor mean together in tarot?

Together, The Empress and The Emperor are the tarot's couple: one makes things grow, the other makes them hold. Their pairing speaks of balance between tenderness and structure, and often points to a solid union.

Why do Victor Hugo's two lighthouses belong together?

Victor Hugo drew both in 1866 while writing The Man Who Laughs; the novel's chapter on the Casquets also mentions the Eddystone lighthouse. Printed at the same height, the two drawings answer each other.

Is diptych wall art a good gift?

Yes, for a wedding, a housewarming or Christmas: two works curated in advance that dress a wall with nothing left to match.

Are the prints framed?

No, frames are not included. 20x28 in and 16x24 in are standard frame sizes.
