1
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:07,170
Where are we?

2
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:11,290
Paris, 2010 AD. And this is the mighty Musée d'Orsay,

3
00:00:11,300 --> 00:00:13,610
home to many of the greatest paintings in history.

4
00:00:13,620 --> 00:00:15,450
That's wonderful.

5
00:00:15,550 --> 00:00:16,450
♫ [music plays]

6
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,290
Ignore that, I've got something more important to show you.

7
00:00:20,230 --> 00:00:21,360
♫ [Background music is 'Chances by Athlete']

8
00:00:21,460 --> 00:00:25,360
♫ [Take all your chances while you can].

9
00:00:30,460 --> 00:00:36,360
♫ [You never know when they'll pass you by].

10
00:00:37,460 --> 00:00:43,360
♫ [Like the sum the mathematician cannot solve].

11
00:00:46,460 --> 00:00:52,360
♫ [Like me trying my hardest to explain].

12
00:01:10,460 --> 00:01:17,360
♫ [It's all about your cries and kisses],

13
00:01:19,460 --> 00:01:27,360
♫ [and those first steps that I can't calculate].

14
00:01:28,460 --> 00:01:31,360
Doctor Black, we met a few days ago.

15
00:01:31,460 --> 00:01:34,460
I asked you about the church at Auvers.

16
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,460
Oh, yes. Glad to be of help.

17
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:38,460
You were nice about my tie.

18
00:01:38,460 --> 00:01:41,190
Yes. And today is another cracker if I may say so.

19
00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:45,720
But I just wondered, between you and me, in a hundred words,

20
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,680
where do you think Van Gogh rates in the history of art?

21
00:01:50,530 --> 00:01:54,090
Well, big question.

22
00:01:56,450 --> 00:01:58,870
But to me, Van Gogh is the finest painter of them all.

23
00:02:00,270 --> 00:02:04,210
Certainly, the most popular great painter of all time.

24
00:02:04,470 --> 00:02:05,770
The most beloved.

25
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,010
His command of colour, the most magnificent.

26
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,450
He transformed the pain of his tormented life

27
00:02:13,460 --> 00:02:15,270
into ecstatic beauty.

28
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,260
Pain is easy to portray, but to use your passion

29
00:02:19,270 --> 00:02:22,490
and pain to portray the ecstasy and joy

30
00:02:22,500 --> 00:02:24,440
and magnificence of our world.

31
00:02:25,300 --> 00:02:26,780
No one had ever done it before.

32
00:02:27,930 --> 00:02:29,930
Perhaps no one ever will again.

33
00:02:30,740 --> 00:02:32,040
To my mind, that

34
00:02:32,230 --> 00:02:36,170
strange, wild man who roamed the fields of Provence

35
00:02:36,180 --> 00:02:40,460
was not only the world's greatest artist, but also,

36
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,290
one of the greatest men who ever lived.

37
00:02:45,390 --> 00:02:46,290
[Vincent bursts into tears].

38
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:47,060
Vincent.

39
00:02:47,860 --> 00:02:48,360
I'm sorry.

40
00:02:49,430 --> 00:02:50,900
I'm sorry. Is it too much?

41
00:02:52,590 --> 00:02:53,010
No

42
00:02:53,860 --> 00:02:55,140
They are tears of joy.

43
00:02:58,920 --> 00:02:59,350
Thank you, sir.

44
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:01,770
Thank you.

45
00:03:02,100 --> 00:03:05,410
You're welcome. You're welcome.

46
00:03:05,410 --> 00:03:06,370
Sorry about the beard.

47
00:03:08,470 --> 00:03:15,370

48
00:03:16,750 --> 00:03:18,621
♫ [It's all about you].
