About this audio guide
This guide to St. Lorenz in Nuremberg follows the sculptor Veit Stoss through the winter of fifteen oh three, when a money dispute with a merchant pulled one of the city's most admired craftsmen into its courts. It touches a city council that never warmed to him, an emperor who took his side, and a patron named Anton Tucher. Best heard standing in the nave, facing the choir.
