There are worse places I guess.
The picture, which I just took, is oddly truncated and makes the room and the table look much smaller than it is. The big work table is actually at least 10 feet long.
To my left, there is a portrait of St. Philip Neri, that, I think, was one of very few (perhaps the only one) painted of the saint during his lifetime from life. It was painted on the underside of a table, under which the artist had to hide. St. Philip didn't like to have his picture taken.
"Amare Nescire."
I know that there are people who join us here regularly who know the story better than I, and could perhaps fill us in in the commbox.
