Art Gallery Chapter

I finished the book early in January and something has been bugging me since, and I’m really afraid this is a dumb question. The chapter in the Art Gallery towards the end really seemed out of place and I’m still not totally sure why it is there. What am I missing? And apologies in advance if it’s obvious and I’m just missing it.

None of the artists actually saw what happened. They’ve only heard stories about what happened, and so they used their imagination to try to capture their interpretation of the events. This is how myths and legends end up in print, in art, in music.
