- Abstract:
- A coffin is carried down the stairs of a gothic church by a procession of monks, lit by the light of the full moon and the flames of the torches that some of the monks carry. They walk toward an open crypt in the foreground. The light from the crypt illuminates the monument on the wall opposite (a knight in armor) as well as two monks kneeling at the opening of the crypt and a third monk holding a thurible. A man with a red cloak stands in the shadows on the left, looking down at the scene at the crypt. The image is intended to be backlit. The light sources in the image -- the moon, the glow shining out of the gothic crypt, and the torch-bearing friars -- are enhanced when the image is held up to a light
