This is observed in two very well-known classics: The Odyssey by Homer and Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier. Inman and
Everyone has seen the picture, reenacts the picture, but who really truly knows the real story behind it?

Theories in art differ greatly from those in the natural sciences. In a broader sense, a theory can be thought of as a conceptual type of thinking. Hence, every piece of artwork can be considered a theory. This is because every artwork is an interpretation of a certain aspect of the world.
