Summary of major points, with references to the relevant articles:

They are older than written narratives, and have been much more widely accessible. Printing after 1500 made images far more common. Article Article Article
Narrative consists of the expression in some form or forms of a story, which itself is a sequence of events. The sequence of events requires that there are at least two, and more usually at least three (Aristotle’s beginning, middle, and end, which have served us so well). The sequence almost always occurs over time. Events themselves involve some kind of action: a static presence alone, without at least implicit action, cannot be narrative. Article
Telling the deeper story in narrative paintings may be more difficult than when telling them in words. Article
It can be difficult to know whether some paintings are narrative, particularly when there is little or no evidence of the artist’s intent. Article
Painting is a singular (point in time) rather than serial (across time) medium. Article Article
Some paintings (Classical Roman, European up to late Renaissance, more modern European, Indian, East Asian) can contain multiple representations of participants at different points in time in the single image. Article Article Article Article Article Article Article
However, such composite images do not necessarily contain ‘proper’ narrative. Article
It is also possible to combine asynchronous events or episodes in the same painting, without using multiple participants. Article
Composite images containing two or more events or episodes may be more complex to read, but can make it possible to tell the whole story in a single painting. Article Article Article
It is possible, in some cases, to project time and space into a single composite narrative, as on a scroll. Few stories are amenable to this, but when they are the result is eminently readable. Article Article
Composite images, or continuous narrative, rely to a degree on spatial separation. If too condensed, the image can become more confusing. Article
Multi-frame paintings were not uncommon before and during the Renaissance Article
It is possible to arrange a mixture of multi-frame and multiplex narratives in a circular painting, to great effect, although this is very rarely seen. Article
The timeframe is implicit. Article Article
Visual content is explicit, but sound and other sensory data are implicit. Article Article
Narrative paintings do not usually convey speech or text, although some bear inscriptions. Article Article
Generally, paintings use narratives which are already familiar to the viewer. Article Article
As a result, narratives for paintings are more usually drawn from common and well-established canons of stories. Article
Where they use unfamiliar narratives, they require speculation, ‘reading’ the painting, on the part of the viewer. Article Article
When the narrative is not clear, and cannot be traced to an oral or printed version, the painting may become an insoluble mystery. Article
Facial expression is important (Alberti). Article Article Article Article Article Article Article
Facial expression of animals can be used too. Article Article
Body language is important (Alberti). Article Article Article
Formalised languages of gesture in limbs and hands can be used, e.g. in Indian paintings. Article
Facial expression, body language and their resulting theatricality form ‘the fruitful moment’ (Lessing) Article
When the ‘fruitful moment’ is obvious, composition can be the crucial determinant of successful narrative. Article Article
Classical Roman painters used Alberti’s rules long before Alberti, but facial expression was little used before the realism which developed during the early Renaissance. Article Article Article
Caricature can replace facial expression to portray emotion, character, etc. Article
Lighting can be used to develop characters in a narrative, and to heighten drama. Article Article
Simplicity in content and composition puts the narrative across more clearly. Article Article Article Article
Directions of gaze in figures can support complex relationships in a narrative. Article
Visual cues are given by including objects and passages which refer directly to details of the narrative. Article Article
Paintings within the painting can convey cues, clues, and impart satire. Article Article
Picturing the moment of sudden change (reversal) in fortune – peripeteia or péripétie – particularly when associated with discovery, makes for powerful tragic narrative, and incorporates references to the past and future. However not all narratives include peripeteia. Article Article Article Article Article Article
Peripeteia can condense the causes, consequences, and moral implications of the event. Article Article
Usually the most difficult element to depict in peripeteia is changed fortune in the future; this can be addressed in a series. Article Article
Where peripeteia is weak, it may be best to pick a moment which is key to the moral or theme of a story. Article
Adding elements which are not in the original narrative generates speculation, and can confuse the viewer. Article
Spacing figures far apart across the painting can give rise to emotional detachment and coldness. Article
Spacing, neutral facial expressions, and marked body language can produce the effect of a frieze, with absence of emotion. Article
Grand spectacles can make good narrative, but then do not use facial expression or body language. They may lose emotional appeal as a result, whilst gaining in the inspiration of awe and sense of the sublime. Article Article
Narrative content weaked during the 1700s, and largely disappeared with oblique and obscure references in the 1800s. Article Article Article Article Article Article Article Article Article Article Article
The last great ‘traditional’ classical narrative painting appeared in 1827. Article
Since the late 1900s, there has been a resurgence in narrative paintings, with many of the best following traditional rules with excellent effect. These modern narratives are often derived from modern sources such as movies; classical myths and religion are seldom sources of narrative any more. Article Article
Narrative painting in Finland was rejuvenated with the publication of the Kalevala, at the time that other European narrative painting was in decline. This was due to the availability of a national mythology and the development of the Finnish nation. Other European cultures have strangely ignored their own cultural mythologies, preferring classical Greek, Roman, and Hebrew ones instead, which became increasingly irrelevant and outmoded at that time, for which suitable replacements could not be found. Article
The Prix de Rome stultified history painting in the 1800s. Article
The Storyspace 3 app (Eastgate) is a good tool for graphical analysis of narrative paintings. Article Article
The best narratives are about people, as we empathise most with human stories. Article
New and radical painting styles and techniques are no barrier to painting narratives. Article
Paintings (and photographs) are suited to the inclusion of multiple unrelated narratives, which can be both appealing and fascinating. These are only likely to confuse if used in serial media such as text or speech. Article
It is hard to include both dramatic human action and calm beauty; generally emphasis falls on beauty, and action is lacking, weakening the narrative. Article
It is possible to condense time from two or more moments into a single image. Article
Visual artifices can be used to make clear auditory and other invisible parts of an event. Article
Careful recasting of an event can strengthen the narrative. Article Article
Some painter-poets (e.g. Rossetti) have written poems first, and then painted their narrative. Article
Thoughts and yearnings can be made explicit in a form of ‘thought bubbles’, as used in graphic novels, etc. Article
Pre-Raphaelite narrative painting is often notable for its lack of ‘action’, showing static tableaux instead. Article Article Article
Good narrative paintings can also refer to other narratives or establish additional points. Article
Strong narrative is possible without facial expression or body language, if composition and cues are good enough. Article
Narrative self-portraits are possible. Article
Not all paintings which refer to narratives, such as myths, are themselves narrative. Article Article
The title of a painting may not be that given to it by the artist, and can mislead its reading. Article
Artists who have undergone a ‘classical’ training should be best-equipped to portrary narrative. However, sometimes they do not deliver clear narratives, and those who were largely self-taught can sometimes be better at conveying narrative. Article Article
By and large, Impressionism ignored the narrative genres altogether. Article
Symbolist paintings may contain proper narrative. Article
Illustrations are intended by the artist to accompany the text narrative; narrative paintings are intended by the artist to stand alone, possibly with the support of the title and short excerpt of text. Article
Panoramas later included narrative paintings. Dioramas were easier to show, requiring smaller spaces, and moving panoramas were compact and very popular. Article
Paintings have far fewer tools for showing time than language. However, there are tools for fixing the moment in time quite precisely, for referring to prior and subsequent events in a narrative, and for discussing time itself. Article
Time as a concept can be expressed allegorically using the figure of Father Time, or by reference to fibrecraft such as knitting, spinning, or weaving as the ‘thread of time’. Article
Fate can be expressed allegorically using the three Fates, or by reference to the ‘thread of fate’, which can be represented by spinning, and possibly weaving. Article
Moving panoramas were in effect long series of conjoined paintings, normally shown with an accompanying oral narrative, and live piano music. Article
‘Flashbacks’ and other asynchronous events can be shown as dreams, in the sky. Article
Asynchronous events can also be shown across different groups of actors (loss of temporal unity), with spatial unity. Article
Painting a view remote from humans, and from an aerial point of view, will make the narrative detached from people, and ‘colder’. Article
Symbolic narrative which remains unresolved can tell a different personal story to each viewer, but still drive a consensus of reaction and opinion. Article
Narrative can also extend to cover changing ideas and values. Article
‘Problem pictures’, with obvious narrativity but encouraging speculation as to the exact narrative, can be used to ignite debate about social and other issues. Article
The detailed reading of a painting may not match the known narrative of a well-known story, in which case it questions that story. Article
Some narratives can be expressed very gesturally and do not need fine realistic detail. Article
Paintings showing narrative in other media, such as the theatre, can share satisfaction of Alberti’s ‘rules’ between stage action and audience reaction. Article
The question as to how to paint narratives divides into what rhetorical tropes to use (if any), and how realist the painting has to be. Choice of styles (realist, painterly, gestural) now depends on what is best suited to the narrative. Article
Realism is not necessary for effective narrative: many strong and clear narratives were painted before the Renaissance. Article
A substantial series of paintings on a particular theme, or of a particular subject, can assemble to create a bigger narrative than exists within individual paintings Article Article
Temporal sequence alone cannot make a narrative. Article
Timeless myths and fables are narratives which may seem less immediately relevant and effective, but last better over time; contemporary stories with satirical and more ephemeral references – like memes – are usually seen as less hackneyed and more relevant, but quickly become obscure. The latter is particularly true when the underlying story is not familiar. Article Article
In a narrative series, although there still needs to be some separation in time between at least two of the paintings, it is possible for two or more to occur more or less simultaneously. Article
However, narrative series can show different views and different content, provided that cues are given to help the viewer align the events in the narrative. Article
Sophisticated and elaborate cues, clues, and symbols are hard to transfer from paintings to prints, for widespread access, and they can make images more complex to read. Article
Artists need some imagery to form a starting point for their visualisation of narrative. When the sole source is text, that narrative is unlikely to be used in paintings. Article
Conspicuously incongruous elements in a painting invite a deeper reading, and the possibility of (different) narrative. Article
Real-looking depictions of historical events can be quite inaccurate accounts of them, if the artist makes decisions on the basis of artistic effect rather than accuracy Article – or if the painting is propaganda. Article
The tendency is for complex pictorial narratives to be read in the same direction as the local language is written: in languages with left-to-right writing, earlier events tend to be on the left; with right-to-left writing, earlier events are on the right. Article
Popular novellists are seldom used to provide stories, probably because they were popular and not deemed appropriate source material for ‘fine art’. This is despite earlier popular appeal of narrative paintings, e.g. religious and other stories in places of worship. Article
Great paintings by Masters such as Bosch can leave lasting influence, although that may be regional. Article

Classification and Terminology of modes of painted and visual narrative:

The Story in Paintings: Modes of painted narrative for full details.

• narrative, in which a story is depicted, almost invariably containing reference to, or depictions of, more than one instant in the story;
• instantaneous, in which the image is intended to show what was happening at a single moment in time, even though it is likely to contain references to other moments in time;
• multi-image, in which a series of separate images (e.g. paintings) is used to tell the story;
• multiplex, in which a single image contains representations of two or more moments in time from a story;
• multi-frame, in which two or more picture frames are used to tell a story, most commonly in comics or manga;
• polymythic, which is a single image containing two or more stories.
