The Man Who Turned Pain into Ecstatic Beauty

van gogh

Dr. Who is a time traveler and in this episode he takes the painter Vincent van Gogh with him to the future. As most of us know, van Gogh’s paintings were not really appreciated while he was alive. No one wanted to buy them, yet he couldn’t help making more and more.

This scene shows what we all would like to see happening, to see Vincent realizing how important his work has become to the world >>
