Original Title: TIL Van Gogh gave his severed ear not to his favorite prostitute, as legend goes, but to an 18 year old maid at the brothel he frequented. Her name was Gabrielle Berlatier. Too young to work as a prostitute, she took a cleaning job to pay medical debt from receiving the newly invented rabies shot.
