What is a painting that tells a story called?

Question: Is it a tapestry? Any other words that describe a "narrative painting?" Oh. I thought there was a specific term for a narrative painting.

Answer: It is always called a narrative painting. But you could say that it depicts a sequence of events. A tapestry is not a painting, it is a woven cloth usually hung on a wall decoration. It many instances, especially in the past - like the Bayeux tapestry it can tell a story. (today, many tapestries have abstract compositions)
