Summary

A coherent symbolic dimension emerges from the grotesque decorations of Bishop Pedro Manuel's arch in León Cathedral, revealing an exaltation of humanistic values and beliefs. This interpretation, grounded in neoplatonic philosophy and Renaissance culture, suggests that the arch symbolizes both Christian faith and a possible adherence to neoplatonic ideals, particularly regarding eternal life. The study deciphers these iconographical elements through their cultural and philosophical context, offering a novel reading of the arch as a testament to the patron's humanistic personality.
