His travels in Europe and his comprehensive studies of Roman antiquity fueled his fascination with historical narratives. This background enabled Story to approach his subjects with both artistic insight and scholarly rigor, illuminating the nuances of human behavior within the framework of societal structures, particularly the overlap between Roman authority and Jewish traditions.
