Answer 1

The triptych is a type of artwork most closely associated with the International Gothic style (D).

These three-panel paintings were a widespread feature of Christian art in the later centuries (fourteenth to sixteenth) of the Middle Ages throughout Europe, especially in German Gothic art. They were a component of the International Gothic movement, which lasted between the 1370s and the 1450s.

Some famous triptychs painted in this period are:

• Entombment or The Seilern Triptych (1410) by Robert Campin
• St Peter the Martyr (1429) by Fra Angelico
• The Annunciation (1440) by Roger van der Weyden
