The Irish-born British artist Francis Bacon (1909–1992) painted 28 known large triptychs between 1944 and 1985–86. [1] He began working in the format in the mid-1940s with a number of smaller scale works before graduating to large examples in 1962.
During the following three years he painted many images of Dyer, including the series of three "Black triptychs" (or "Black paintings") which have come to be seen as among his best work. They are so named because they share common black backgrounds emblematic of death or mourning. [8] A number of characteristics bind the "Black triptychs" together.
