version in what he. built for the purpose next to pergamon museum. chemists have known program on since i was a child and i've also been very fascinated with it in terms of the architecture of the way this acropolis was built pile was saying it's almost modern architecture also the way they found this location this mountain in terms of urban planning. in preparation for his new panorama yet he has made six trips to the real park amman in turkey today the town of. there he scrutinized area from every angle hoping to find more inspiration for this project. but when you visit the actual location you get a very personal impression. nothing can beat that. so it's an unwritten law for me that when i'm working on a project i have to go to the actual site. he took

the cation for his original panorama but for this new version he staged additional scenes in berlin with some forty characters. among the scenes. are stung mason's workshop. a slave market. and a sacrificial altar. even immortalized himself as a market vendor. is seen in a month going back twenty years at first the scenes of people were more a secondary element. i thought i'd put a few people and put the picture in the proper scale. and now they're becoming the most important element because i can get through to the people the viewers by the way of the people. to date assisi has created fourteen giant panda us. the first was everest in like sixth two thousand and three a few of the world's highest mountain as seen from the base camp. one of his best

known works is on the wall from two thousand and twelve it depicts the berlin wall and deathstroke in the one nine hundred eighty s. . and twenty sixteen he turned his attention to the church reformer martin luther photographing scenes for his panorama in vietnam back. key exhibits from the pergamon museum collection of classical antiquities have gone into the new panorama and establish a connection between ancient and modern art. among them are the problem if you screw up. the head of hercules. and the arche has to dancer from the palace. we've been able to work with assisi very closely because he was willing to incorporate our archaeological expertise into the program on panorama. so we chose the focal point together. one of the highlights is the famous program on alter.

we've amalgamated a lot more this time things that i would normally hand to learn all part of the exhibition and things from the exhibition or in the panorama of the. a species panorama brings the antiquities to life offering a journey back through time to ancient program on nearly two thousand years ago. a celebrated painting by british artist david hockney has been sold in new york at a record price for on. plus a tire in shops or hitting the road in the name of food or on those stories at the top of today's express. an iconic painting by british artist david hockney has sold for the highest price ever paid for a work by living artist portrait of an artist as david hockney his most famous work and was auctioned in new york on thursday for around eight hundred million euros.

nineteenth thousands of a talent chefs will again travel all over the world present are calling airy delight at more than one thousand events and cooking courses in one hundred twenty countries this year's focus will be on the mediterranean diet. the person in the next report is a star on the accordion the french mint vassall ferranti began with the classical music at the age of eleven and he won numerous internet. prises as a teenager then later on he began specializing in jazz but his talents aren't limited to just one musical genre on his new album he plays some very familiar rock classics but with an interesting twist let's have a closer listen. to

rock classic performed on the piano accordion by van sang. you know it's going you know it's like a little bit made i'm quoting. of course the accordion you know sound a little bit melancholic so it fits for me if it's pretty well. in french the accordion is sometimes referred to as a blotter for a song which roughly translates as a box of thrills or excitement and that's exactly what band sampiero need turns it into. he loves to keep things interesting diving from one musical style to another . as a child what he actually wanted to do was play the drums my father was you have to say no i don't want i don't want to play the drums he said no use this stuff. so i

could be. ok. mr appear on the professional accordion player himself had big plans for his son. and that meant by a bite bite and bites will work and more work can tell one day he started to really love it he's since played with some of the big names in jazz like german pianist michel barnier. as a teenager is taste in music was quite different. and say who are there i remember when when i put it on my cd player. the sound and i was a. computer and he loves to listen to drum solos you really want to get inside the rhythm.

maybe i can try to imitate what i hear what i heard on the drums and i try to do it on the accordion. here and he also performs led zeppelin's legendary kashmir. he performs the song together with his band living b. who featured throughout the album. it's a world away from classic accordion prepared i need the possibilities are endless after a while i say i don't care i just like this music. to play this music there is no reason you know because this is just an instrument so i just want to express myself ok thanks to the accordion.

knocking the term but locke was used in the eighteenth century to describe the poor street urchins who scavenge the rivers mud for anything they could sell. for anna and florence much knocking is just a hobby. just just just all this is a conservative system so we're going to pull that out so there's a little bit of light bulb that's what they would have rested it all that's how you both. will say they really are like cigarette butts people just used to throw away smoke the walls and that's right from about fifteen eighteen when i was introduced to the u.k. . but before you can go. digging around in the mud of the thames you need a special permit from the port of london or thorazine. those who find anything of real value or archaeological interest must presented to the museum of london to be

registered and valued animals and i was fascinated by these straight pins which could date from roman times she's found a thousand so far away from him and then suddenly they all get this brilliant surprise you might find i find like a little seal that someone used to stamp a letter for four hundred years ago and you think it was a basic code doesn't even go home and research it and it's very very very addictive . while some blood larks just wear sandals others get themselves out with more professional gear. it's not just historical interest that leads these mudlarks to comb the shores of the river thames at low tide for treasure at his studio nicola white gives her finds a new life. for instance she's turned old shards of glass into colorful fish. everything has a purpose or place whether it's ceramic pieces dating from roman times. the turin

life and art of vincent van gogh well the film is the world's first fully painted feature we met up with a director to find out how she revolutionized animation using the oldest visual medium. loving vincent brings to life the story of dutch post-impressionist painter vincent van hall in his own pictures it's the first ever feature to animate paintings on canvas. it was polish artist who first came up with the idea. when i saw the paintings as like this is perfect because he painted his life. around him as he saw

it that's what's on the paintings was really tempting because i felt to bring the paintings to move in front of you ice. after it was shot with actors over one hundred painters and get down to kulish they recreated each frame by hand to bring this dream to life. and her husband and co-director huge welchman led the team that put together this truly unique film. it's like almost like you know putting out the possible because you you've got the paintings and you don't really want to change them too much more you've got the biography you've got the fox from his life and also you've got you know. storytelling like very important for a filmmaker. to accept. in years and sixty five thousand individual paintings to create loving vincent disney's first animated feature length films were painted with water colors but using oils in animation is unchartered territory for the film

industry. amazing that. by paying you know lots of you have a lot of control. one of the biggest challenges cappiello and her team had to overcome was finding sponsors and investors for a movie that was very difficult to imagine lots of people we are you know. calling us names crazy you know. yeah but mainly because of the concept of painting for friends of the people versus. how it's going to work. could be others passion for van cost painting began of a young age she read the artist's letters when she was fifteen after studying fine art she went on to specialize in animation at the warsaw film school. in twenty eleven she created her first short film little postman from her own oil

painting. i felt. it's missing from my life the painting is just and i really felt i would like to. you know bring it back or close that chapter of my life you know i just felt this is open and so i thought ok of the great to combine these two things and to paint a movie so that was the short film idea. loving vincent was first planned as a short film but eventually grew into a ninety minute feature the work might not boast any special effects but it's still unique in the industry d w film critic scott roxboro believes his idea could even mark the birth of a new genre. computer animation so dominates the field now we've gotten used to seeing it to such a degree that we've forgotten what paint looks like almost. and that tactile sense

is really is really revolutionary i think i hope really that will inspire a new generation of filmmakers to embrace this this really new medium which is of course the oldest media. of visual representation. since it premiered in twenty seventeen the movie has been a major success receiving numerous international it was even nominated for an oscar in the best animated feature category. it was also a lot for me as a person because i you know it's a first film i knew. it's pushed that's been ever. there's no money women in an industry and i'm not to count both paul and general problem very. thorough tacl below has painted a pioneering portrait of vincent and. her groundbreaking bio pic is at once immersive and. well all this week we've been asking you to tell us which woman has really inspired you and mohamed mean wrote in from india
