Was the German Romantic painter Caspar David Friedrich the original selfie artist?

Daniel Libeskind, the architect best known for the Jewish Museum in Berlin and the World Trade Centre masterplan in New York, talks about designing a building to house Einstein’s archive in Jerusalem.  

As Germany celebrates the 250th birthday of the painter Caspar David Friedrich with three major exhibitions, art historians Louisa Buck and Waldemar Januszczak discuss the significance of the Romantic artist famous for his paintings of people in evocative landscapes.

And the musician and composer Karl Jenkins joins Samira to talk about celebrating his 80th birthday with a concert tour.
