From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Don Dalmacio de Mur y de Cervelló (Cervera (Lérida) - 12 September 1456) He was bishop of Gerona (1415-1418) was later transferred to Tarragona (1419-31) and finally became archbishop of Saragossa (1431-56). As a maecenas don Dalmau de Mur y Cervello embellished the churches he served, so that even today they rank among the monuments of Spanish Gothic art. He contracted in 1426 with the sculptor Pere Johan (active 1418-58) to carve the splendid alabaster and wood retable that still dominates Tarragona Cathedral. He was buried in the La Seo Cathedral of Saragossa.
