The painting depicts a hypocritical Catholic monk engaged in what may be rape, molestation, or patriarchal domination but appears to be consensual copulation (fornication) with a cloistered Catholic nun through an iron gate meant to keep them separated, achieved by using an athletic sexual position; the painting uses the chiaroscuro technique to contrast its two subjects [4].
While little is known of Lossow's formal motivation, the painting is believed to have been a response and thematically linked to the Vatican's secret affair called the Banquet of Chestnuts.

This real event, purported to have taken place in 1501 in Rome (the Holy See of the Holy Roman Empire), is where Cesare Borgia, an Italian Catholic cardinal deacon and later military leader, hired prostitutes courtesans to attend a Bacchanalian/Dionysian pagan-style Church feast with his holy father, Pope Alexander VI [4, 5] (of the decadent House of Borgia).

The painting caused shame and humiliation as it exposed Church hypocrisy and corruption. There was an uproar in the Vatican, plus significant controversy and outrage in Germany due to its explicit nature and anti-clerical content [6].
Lossow was formally condemned by the Catholic Church [7, 8] for airing the Church's dirty laundry and speaking out of school about the goings on in the administrative heart of the holy Church.
The location of the disappeared artwork is now unknown, but it is believed to be in private ownership [7, 8, 4], possibly rotting in the vast Vatican Archives, a kind of early Smithsonian system for hiding away inconvenient artifacts and specimens that contradict official narratives.
