Looking at van Gogh, 125 Years Later

[elleng]

Vincent van Gogh, the most mythologized of Impressionists, died 125 years ago, on July 29, 1890. And he is the subject of two ongoing exhibitions recently reviewed by New York Times critics.

1. Vincent Visits the Gallery (Doctor Who)

The Doctor and Amy take Vincent Van Gogh - who struggled to sell a single painting in his own lifetime - to a Paris art Gallery in the year 2010. Emotional scenes from Doctor Who Series 5 Episode 10, Vincent and the Doctor.

Great scene from a fun episode. They found the perfect actor to play Van Gogh.

Interesting background on the use of pigments.
