This latter detail is what differentiates, for example, ''Art/TheGhentAltarpiece'' from the Art/TheBayeuxTapestry. The former, yes, shows key moments from the Bible but not in a way that forms a cohesive story just from the scenes shown by the paintings. By contrast, the latter devotes each small scene to narrating how the Normans conquered England. It's a sequence of events.

Other than that, modern sequential artworks seem pretty clear cut -- they are {{comics}}, be it {{Manga}}, ComicStrips, or {{Webcomics}}. The truth is that this trope has existed for quite a while throughout human history. The majority of them aren't even {{unbuilt tropes}}! Remember, the defining quality is that visual art --i.e., {{painting|s}}, {{sculpture|s}}, etc.-- does the heavy lifting.

We could daresay that sequential art is one of the most ancient forms of art. Pictures on caves describing a tragic hunt? Hieroglyphics on AncientEgypt tombs narrating how to traverse the dangerous Underworld? Ink-on-scroll drawings recounting an Edo period {{fable}}? Reliefs on a temple's walls immortalizing a myth of creation? All of them count as long as they have a {{plot}}, however simple it may be.

!! What constitutes SequentialArt?
To complement the description in the main tab, sequential art can be defined as the use of [[{{Art}} visual artworks]] with the purpose of telling a story. Some elements, like text, can be added, but they are not the central part. It can't be mostly text with a few illustrations thrown in either.
This leads us to the issue of graphic novels. They aren't sequential art pieces if taken as a whole product. However, one of the illustrated pages can very well be an example of this trope. A couple of vignettes adapting a scene from the text do apply. But that's the thing -- it's just that series of vignettes on a page, not the novel itself.
