a long battle with unless this was a severe blow to the queen. she suffered another tragedy in twenty twelve when her second son freezer was buried in an avalanche while skiing and spent months in a coma in august twenty thirty in the royal house announced prince freezer had died it was a difficult time for the royal family. would be the accident of prince freezer who was admired courted people in the middle as she stood and we resorted tragedian or authorized calls but she hold all. and she when i go to work and be just as focused as she was. before. it wasn't long before beatrix had resumed her fishel duties in full. in twenty thirteen at the age of seventy five beatrix passed the crown on to her eldest son

much as she had received it from her mother in one thousand nine hundred eighty it is at its courts with complete confidence i shall be handing the sovereign's office over to my son princeville and alexander on april thirtieth it's fun allowing. for the first time in over a century a man ascended the dutch throne king villa alexander. to go to year it's a great honor to succeed my mother and for us to serve our country with all the vision even more since abdicating princes beer trix has been helping out the royal couple at official appearances. and she had their daughter in law queen maxima and now the most popular members of the dutch boyle family doesn't trust us what's characteristic of beatrix is this great love she had for her husband and has her family in this country this. steadfastness she has she's always been a great personality. one of these cat. above all

princes beatrix is enjoying her retirement and spending more time with her family. with and speaking of royalty british prince william and his wife kate are in sweden bidders visiting their swedish counterparts and taking in some sport also trees in the warsaw are experiencing their fifteen minutes of fame plus quite a gem has been found in russia more on those stories coming up in today's express. on tuesday prince william and his wife catherine the duchess of cambridge just sweetens capital stall count right away they took in a game of brandy similar to hockey the royal couple took the opportunity to try it out for themselves. even though catherine's expecting her first child in april william and catherine will spend a total of four times travelling around sweden and norway.

in poland's capital warsaw a sculptor has created a fairy tale square from tree trunks the figures were inspired by a children's t.v. show called nice shot to or teddy floppy here the series has run since the one nine hundred fifty s. in a chief cult status among poles i'm chasing bakshi carved out several familiar characters with a chainsaw so you some of your so many amazing emotions of joy expressed by the inhabitants. really emotional wow moments what. someone finally thought of soup or how beautiful something i got remains in my memory you don't know what is in. the trunks or from trees that had been damaged in a storm last year and were due to be cut down. an enormous emerald has been discovered in russia's ural mountains the un can't gemstone weighs over one and a half kilos and is fourteen centimeters in length it's the stone on earth at the

mine in that decade. we immediately realized the size of the stone was the world it's estimated to be was nearly sixty thousand euros urals marked the border between asia and europe and are known for the high concentration of gems arms. the german painter sebastian shridhar is attracting more and more attention on the international art scene and as one gallery director puts it schrader as works are firmly set in the in-between transition meaning his figures are captured in both the before and after while the berlin artist paints with or oil on canvas and his subjects are mostly men in traumatic poses we met up with him in a studio in berlin to talk more about his style. sebastien

searching for the secrets of painting using to follow the latest trends the young artist works like an old master he has faith in the power of painting. as a. painting should stand on its own i have no concept in a message i don't think something up and then follow that through. instead i supply one plant and then try to get another pot to come on it's something i can figure out some food over my leave things to chance. or for that secretly i hope that the pictures are smarter than i what more goes into them that i'd never even thought. for him hanging is like an adventure a journey taken with paint and canvas sebastien shadows often surprised himself

with how his works turned out but he's a master with brushes and paint and retains a close connection to the history of the maintaining. this early work was cold spots or black square. there's a convenient wooden models of things combined at the bottom with this figure and a melancholy pose which has a tinge of outback you're about to be might say it was impart that on kali attitude towards modernism for lost some tired of. defying convention taking everything doing things that make no sense had us pictures our counter images to today's hectic world their images of rebellion. does modesty for me it was important to there be a kind of refusal in place it in this a questioning of why people are always so active these days why there's no alternative and almost all of them to just start to not be

a part of it off but to stick with what is important to you in this one but. to use . ironically these pictures of denial are especially popular and places of prosperity felix robbins is a wealthy entrepreneur based in london and a collector of sebastian charters works. there is a link between what we've got from the past and the answer of today and. so we need to. work for contemporary works of today that reflect today and so that's of falls right in back of your of message and quality. in with the rest german painting is enjoying a boom abroad especially works from what's become known as the new like six core sebastian's father has also. benefiting from the success even though he studied art and berlin not like his pictures are always set in closed undefinable spaces like

figures of baroque painting the men to be good in them are banked in intense light . doesn't list as i consciously avoid using the illusion of space there are always two dimensional job you'll never see a german forest the baron is a background in my works it's the avoidance of telling a story and shrinking things somehow for this one it's creating a theatrical stage and concentrating on human existence. idle people in the poses in sebastian scott as new as works they begin to disintegrate instead of illustration these works porter an abstraction. the artist has a chronic liar and an age of uncertainty wandering between painting traditions between representation and abstraction pursuing but one passion play with shape and color and accepting the result whatever it turns out to be.
