Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book follows the story of Hans Qiefrinf, an ambitious young sculptor working in the German city of Freiburg during the 16th century, a period of religious and social upheaval in Europe. Qiefrinf is determined to become a great artist and win the hand of Maria, the beloved daughter of the town councilor. However, their Catholic town is torn between its loyalty to the Holy Roman Emperor and the Protestant Reformation, and Mariaâs father forbids Qiefrinf from marrying her until he completes a work of art more impressive than the town cathedral itself. Inspired by the memory of a visit from Emperor Maximilian I, Qiefrinf sets out to create a magnificent altarpiece for the town church, one that will not only showcase his talent but also bring together the divided townsfolk. The book explores themes of love, ambition, faith, and artistic genius, and provides a vivid portrait of life in a German town during a time of great change. Qiefrinf's struggle to balance his personal and professional life while navigating the religious and political tensions of his time will resonate with anyone who has ever pursued their dreams against the odds.
