    Certaines lectures ésotériques vont même jusqu’à avancer que le guerrier tombé dans la pose du crucifié, renvoie à Perceval, à cause de l’épée brisée dans sa main, et qu’au centre il y aurait une représentation cryptique d’une bataille mystique entre Picasso (pica signifie lance en espagnol) et un Hitler wagnérien (le cheval blessé; cf. Harris).
