Through sources that address biographical, esoteric, musical, surreal themes and applying Erwin Panofsky's iconographic method have allowed us to approach the decipherment of a work whose representation of fantastic and mythological beings are participants in the creation of a music belonging to another plane, known as "harmony of the spheres" which proposes the idea of an orderly universe, constituted by magical and ineffable sounds.
