What are some famous painting that tell stories?

One characteristic is the use of symbolism. For example, in 'The Scream' by Edvard Munch, the distorted figure and the vivid red and orange sky can be seen as symbols of the artist's inner turmoil and the general angst of the human condition. Another characteristic is the composition. In 'The Raft of the Medusa' by Théodore Géricault, the way the figures are arranged on the raft, some alive, some dead or dying, tells the story of the survivors of the shipwreck.

Well, for some famous paintings, the background story could be related to the artist's personal experience. For instance, Vincent van Gogh's 'Starry Night'. Van Gogh was in a mental asylum at the time he painted it. His turbulent mental state and his love for the night sky might have inspired this masterpiece.
