Painting

Painting was the art of applying colour to a surface. A painting was also the end product — a picture made in this way. They were often displayed in museums afterward. (TV: City of Death, Vincent and the Doctor)

Paintings sometimes proves good defence mechanisms. The Rani once copied a painting by Turner, Eruption of Souffrier onto a room-dividing screen hiding her TARDIS. The painting defended her TARDIS by producing mustard gas from the volcano's top when intruders approached. (TV: The Mark of the Rani, PROSE: The Mark of the Rani)

Paintings even occasionally turned sentient. An untitled painting hung in an art gallery on the Moon. Because a soul extractor was used during the creation of the painting it became an intelligent creature. (PROSE: Untitled)

Famous Earth painters and paintings
Vincent van Gogh was a famous Dutch painter of the late 19th century. By the 21st century, some considered him to be the greatest artist who ever lived. The image of a Krafayis in van Gogh's painting The Church at Auvers prompted the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond to travel back to 1890. While spending time with van Gogh, Amy inspired his painting, Vase with Twelve Sunflowers, which he dedicated to her. (TV: Vincent and the Doctor) In the last year of his life, van Gogh painted The Pandorica Opens inspired by transmissions he picked up from the Stonehenge of 102 AD.
