Estatuas-columna de dos profetas procedentes de la desaparecida fachada exterior del Pórtico de la Gloria - Isaac

The work to the cathedral facade between 1519 and 1521 involved its 3 doors, and it was necessary to take down the column statues and reliefs added by Master Mateo and his team in order to finish the decoration and iconography on the portico. Later, at the end of the 18th century, the Count of Ximonde retrieved some of them and took them to his home, where they remained until 1947 when they were acquired by Santiago de Compostela city hall.

The works were placed on the stairs at the Raxoi Palace until they were obtained by General Francisco Franco before being moved to their current location at the Casa de Cornide in A Coruña. Yzquierdo Perrín believes that these items were undoubtedly part of the Portico of Glory's external facade.

However, Serafín Moralejo has suggested the works are linked to the David and Solomon figures and come from the same set ("they would have been grouped with the two patriarchs—surely Abraham and Isaac"). He proposed that "these two father-son pairings would also allude to Christ's own lineage from Abraham and David as described in the Gospel of Saint Mathew." In this case, the 4 pieces would also evoke the figures of Fernando II and Alfonso IX and the succession between them at the time when work on Santiago Cathedral was being completed.
