from matplotlib import gridspec

plt.figure(figsize=(6, 4))
G = gridspec.GridSpec(3, 3)

axes_1 = plt.subplot(G[0, :])
plt.xticks([])
plt.yticks([])
plt.text(0.5, 0.5, "Axes 1", ha="center", va="center", size=24, alpha=0.5)

plt.xticks([])
plt.yticks([])
plt.text(0.5, 0.5, "Axes 2", ha="center", va="center", size=24, alpha=0.5)
