Keskpaneb

Keskpaneb is a term of Estonian origin that translates to "middle panel" or "central panel." It is most commonly encountered in the context of art and architecture, particularly when discussing triptychs or polyptychs. A triptych is a work of art divided into three sections, with the keskpaneb being the central and often most significant panel. Similarly, in a polyptych, which is a multi-paneled work, the keskpaneb refers to the main panel around which other sections are arranged. The keskpaneb typically contains the primary subject matter or narrative focus of the artwork. In architectural contexts, the term can refer to a central decorative panel or a structural element that forms the core of a larger composition. The specific meaning and importance of the keskpaneb can vary depending on the cultural and historical period of the artwork or structure.
