How come he wasn’t missing an ear?
Artistic choice? I was originally going to say that the episode likely took place before he cut off his ear, as in real life he did this just about a year and a few months before his death, but then I looked up when the episode supposedly took place and it says it takes place in 1890 which is when he died so… I have no clue why they didn’t portray his self mutilated ear. Although, I know a lot of folks in the art community hate the fact the Van Gogh is so typically jabbed at for his mental illness, and Dr. Who writers likely wanted to portray him in a much more realistic sense of mental illness and depression. A horribly disfigured ear May not have been in line with that.
