拍品专文

‘The subject here again appears to be the clergy or at least those who believe in the clergy. The 1799-1803 Ayala text indicates this: ‘Oral confession. Tale-bearing witches are the most loathsome of all witchery’. The Biblioteca Nacional text is even more explicit: ‘Oral confession does nothing other than fill the ears of nuns with dirty ideas, obscenities and nastiness’. It is possible that this Capricho also concerns Goya's revulsion against denunciations in general to the Holy Tribunal of the Inquisition.’

Johnson, R. S., Francisco Goya, Los Caprichos, R.S. Johnson Fine Art, Chicago, 1992, p. 122.
