Artist Ryan Rigby has created a new piece of artwork that revisits a poignant scene from the Doctor Who episode "The Angels Take Manhattan." This episode, which aired in 2012, marked the end of Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill's regular appearances as companions Amy and Rory. In the episode, the Doctor and his companions uncover a chilling plot involving the Weeping Angels in 1930s New York.

This artwork comes just in time for Doctor Who's upcoming 60th anniversary, reminding fans of this unforgettable episode.
How Doctor Who Season 7 Built Up To Amy And Rory's Heartbreaking Exit
The artwork featured above focuses on the Eleventh Doctor and Amy during the commencement of the episode, as they, along with Rory, relish a peaceful afternoon in Central Park. Rigby's masterpiece delicately portrays a serene and enjoyable yet poignant moment between the Doctor and his companion, serving as a stunning representation of their ultimate moments together.
During the first half of Doctor Who season 7, Amy and Rory's departure was hinted at through the exploration of their lives back home. Initially on the brink of divorce, their reunion with the Doctor reignited their romance, leading to a series of final adventures that incorporated more of their domestic life. From Rory's father Brian's involvement in a thrilling escapade with Silurians, intergalactic poachers, and Dinosaurs, to a peculiar invasion of black boxes, the Pond's last journeys gradually shifted focus from space and time to their own personal existence.
The Ponds' departure from Doctor Who came as a surprise, as no one expected the events that would ultimately drive them away from the Doctor. Although they had narrowly escaped the Weeping Angels' plans by creating a paradox, Rory was sent back in time by an Angel. Amy made the heartbreaking decision to join him, realizing that the Doctor wouldn't be able to save him. Despite their efforts to console the Doctor and live out their lives together, the Time Lord was left devastated and chose to retire from traveling until the 2012 holiday special, "The Snowmen". Amy and Rory's departure from Doctor Who is often regarded as one of the most heartbreaking moments in the show's revival. Not only did their story see them leave the show, but it also involved tragic circumstances where the Doctor couldn't save his dear friends. Consequently, "The Angels Take Manhattan" continues to be an episode that stands out for its emotional impact. However, Rigby's depiction of one of the Doctor and Amy's final moments together in his piece is heartwarming and uplifting.
