'Nothing is Known of This' ; two figures picking up a body in front of a church, a monk singing next to them and another in the background; page 7 from the Witches and Old Women Album (D) ca.1819-23 Goya (Francisco de Goya y Lucientes) Spanish This drawing has been interpreted as depicting a funerary procession, with two hooded monks carrying what appears to be a shrouded corpse in the foreground, followed by figures exiting a church. Strangely, the two men holding the supposed corpse barely touch it, as if it were weightless. This could be because it is not a corpse, but rather a skeleton, recently exhumed by the Inquisition. If the drawing is a reference to their persecution, its caption might refer to the "secrecy laws"the lack of accountability and transparencythat cloaked the Inquisition’s procedures..
