I've been reading a lot of sites online about comic book theory and art communication and so forth and I came across this startling no-brainer.
Triptychs are the storyboards of the past. Without cameras, the triptych was the media in which artists could capture, visually, whole chronologies of events. Sort of an elevated heiroglyph designed to capture one particular story or event in visual detail.
As I was browsing the web this morning, looking at various styles of triptych, i came across this one at the Web Gallery of Art (a magnificent resource) called the Braque Family Triptych and commissioned from artist Rogier van der Weyden (c. 1450).
