The Painter of God - Ines Thorn

Even as a child is Matt an outsider. People whisper that he is different, as even his birth was under a bad sign: he came with the umbilical cord around the neck to the world, like a hanged man. As the second-born son, he is supposed to go to the monastery, but early on is his great talent for painting recognizable and he learns the craft in his father's workshop. When the father dies, the jealous brother Matt out of the house, and this goes on tour to get search in Frankfurt an apprenticeship. On the way he meets Magdalena, and the two young people feel from the moment a spiritual kinship. Matt paints them as he sees it. He still has no idea that Magdalena will be the great and only love of his life. Remains largely unfulfilled, however, this love, for in Matthew's life is no place for a woman, one family. His greatest passion is and remains the painting.

Ines Thorn has a special, distinctive writing style, which is noticeable even at its debut. Her novels are characterized by an expressive language and strong depiction of emotions, so also here. Their characters are special people with extraordinary, tragic fates. The author can be with their words create images of great intensity and expressiveness. The writing style in the presence creates an additional special closeness to the characters.

Matthias Gruenwald is obsessed with the painting and his pursuit of absolute perfection, driven by his faith that borders on fanaticism. His whole existence is a great find themselves, for the love and for perfection in his works. Ines Thorn describes his life as a perpetual struggle. There is a constant battle that he can not win in the long run.

"The Painter of God" has captivated me from the beginning. Although We like this passionate spirit of the artist today are foreign, but it was a different time, things were in transition, even religion. The author has shown that mood very intensive. Forest Green plants are described so vividly that I immediately felt like to me to see. The relationship of the individual images to action of the novel is fascinating, and one can only imagine how much research work has preceded this story.
