ancient task

It is the ancient task of the best artists among us to force us to use our ability to feel and share emotions.

I totally have no idea about what the sentence above refers to. Can anyone help explain the meaning? Thanks.

It is saying that "forcing us to use our ability to feel and share emotions" is "the ancient task of the best artists among us". "the ancient task of the best artists" seems to mean "the job/role of artists since ancient times".
