Henry Black

Dr. Black was an art expert who was at the Musée d'Orsay where a Vincent Van Gogh exhibition was held. As the Doctor noticed a strange figure in one of the paintings, he came to ask him on the date of the work. He fooled Dr. Black into thinking that Amy Pond and himself were from the Ministry of Art, and all related 'artyness' by using his Psychic paper. Black then informed him that the aforementioned painting was painted between the 1st and 3rd of June in the year 1890. This was less than one year before van Gogh would commit suicide. From that information, he deduced when to visit van Gogh and save him. Before leaving, Dr Black and the Doctor both complimented each other's bow ties. The Doctor and Amy returned to the museum, with Van Gogh in tow, and the Doctor asked Dr. Black his opinion of the painter. When Dr. Black stated that he believed Van Gogh to be the greatest artist in history, it reduced Van Gogh to tears. Van Gogh hugged and kissed Dr. Black, to his unknowing bemusement.
