Narciso Tomé
Toledo Cathedral
Narciso Tomé (1690–1742) was a Spanish architect and sculptor of the late-Baroque or Rococo period.[1]
Tomé was born in
cathedral of Toledo, for whom he constructed the famous altarwork, the Transparente (1721–1732), and example of the elaborate Spanish Baroque.[2]
El Transparente, derives its name from the play of light on the altar, and is several stories high, with fantastic figures of stucco, painting, bronze castings, and multiple colors of marble, a masterpiece of Baroque mixed media by Narciso Tomé enhanced by the daily effect for a few minutes of a shaft of sunlight striking it through an appropriately oriented hole in the roof, giving the impression that the whole altar is rising to heaven.
