A Short Walk in the National Gallery - Day Four

Conversation at the next table

So far as the walk goes, the area of the gallery I'm planning to cover is Italy 1250 - 1350.
The writing is done in the coffee bar, after the walk, a kind of respite, where there are about eight tables looking out over Trafalgar Square. Today the conversation at the next table was just a bit too close. Should I be listening? Probably yes. Let them filter their way in to the work if they will.
