Transparente, also known as El Transparente, is a renowned Baroque altarpiece created by the Spanish sculptor Narciso Tomé. Completed in 1732, this masterpiece is located in the Toledo Cathedral in Spain. The work is celebrated for its intricate design, dramatic use of light, and the seamless integration of sculpture, painting, and architecture, which exemplifies the grandeur and theatricality of the Baroque period.

Narciso Tomé, along with his sons, executed Transparente under the commission of Diego de Astorga y Céspedes, the Archbishop of Toledo at the time. The altarpiece was designed to enhance the Eucharistic chapel and to celebrate the Holy Sacrament. It is situated behind the main altar and rises up to the vault of the cathedral, creating a vertical axis that draws the viewer's eye upward, symbolizing the ascent to the divine.

One of the most striking features of Transparente is its use of natural light. Tomé ingeniously incorporated a hidden window in the cathedral's dome, allowing sunlight to illuminate the altarpiece at specific times of the day. This effect creates a celestial glow that enhances the spiritual experience for the viewer. The interplay of light and shadow, combined with the dynamic composition of angels, clouds, and other religious iconography, gives the impression of a heavenly vision.

The altarpiece is a fusion of various artistic elements, including gilded wood, marble, and bronze, showcasing Tomé's versatility and mastery in different mediums. The detailed carvings and the vibrant polychrome figures contribute to the overall sense of movement and vitality, characteristic of Baroque art.

Transparente stands as a testament to the artistic and architectural innovation of the 18th century and remains one of the most significant works within the Toledo Cathedral. It continues to attract art historians, scholars, and visitors from around the world, who come to admire its beauty and the ingenuity of its design.
