“…to me, Van Gogh is the finest painter of them all.Certainly, the most popular, great painter of all time, the most beloved. His command of color the most magnificent. He transformed the pain of his tormented life into ecstatic beauty.Pain is easy to portray, but to use your passion and pain to portray the ecstasy and joy and magnificence of our world…no one had ever done it before. Perhaps, no one ever will again. To my mind, that strange, wild man who roamed the fields of Provence was not only the world’s greatest artist, but also one of the greatest men who ever lived.” - [x]
I literally cried the first time I watched this. Not a very manly thing to admit. But when has that stopped me before?
Every person I’ve watched this ep with has cried. IT’S SO PERFECT.
EVERY. TIME. This has to be one of my favorite episodes.
