Abstract
The Romanesque church of San Isidoro in Leon holds a place of great significance in the history of art because of its participation in the most important sculptural trends around the turn of the 12 th century. While the portals of the south facade and transept have been the object of scholarly attention, the lost north transept portal had not been studied until now. Thanks to a research campaign in March of 2005, we can propose a possible reconstruction of the Romanesque tympanum within the decorative scheme of the north transept facade.
Highlights
