Would you say there is such a thing as fine art illustration? As in, art sold in traditional galleries, but tells a story and/or has illustrative qualities?

I took a class in “narative art” and that’s basically what it is. Look at paintings with the word “allegory” in the title, like https://www.google.com/amp/s/eclecticlight.co/2018/07/12/too-real-the-narrative-paintings-of-jean-leon-gerome-2/amp/ … by Gerome. He did a lot of it.

I have been thinking about paintings like these and how they tell stories, but all I seem to hear about my own work is: "you should illustrate children's books" and I honestly don't think it's for me. I barely have enough time to paint as it is

If you want I can find some schools where the teacher does these kinds of paintings. Not sure in Missouri, but I do know a few in other places. Another thing to do is try copying some of the old allegory paintings to get an idea of how it's done. Key is symbols and entendre.
