An otherwise ancient and intimate tradition between the storyteller and their audience.

Narratives are the stories we all live with. They inform how we view and understand the world, giving shape and character to actual events, imagined realities, and power systems. Narrative art gives visual form to specific stories and the meanings they contain. These stories may be readily apparent in the arrangement of figures or the representation of action or intent. They also may be suggested through mood, atmosphere, or iconography. The perspectives that viewers bring to artworks inform the meaning and significance of the narratives they convey. Reflecting human experiences and aspirations, narrative paintings can be read across time, culture, and language.
