    Multi-Linear Art


    Multi-narrative artworks aren't an entirely modern concept.

    Large scale paintings that have multiple narratives and play with different spatial areas have "played a prominent role in European visual culture for centuries.' (Manovich 2001, pp. 322)

    Traditional Italian frescos aim to show lots of separate stories and events in the one large space that can be viewed all at once, or in isolation.

    These images of the roof of the Duomo in Florence, show the famous painting of 'The Last Judgement'. It is an incredibly huge artwork with hundreds of separate elements of the one large narrative.

    The painting depicts heaven and hell and all of the people in between in purgatory. It would take hours to try to look at all of the figures in the painting and you seem something different each time you look at it.
