The chapel was <a onclick="return OpenOther\('/html/m/montorso/sanluca1.html'\)" href="/html/m/montorso/sanluca1.html">designed by Giovanni Angelo Montorsoli</a> who converted the former chapter house of the monastery church into a memorial chapel for artists. The decoration of the chapel with frescoes and stucco figures was executed between 1558 and 1571 by several artists. Lorenzi's Abraham is one of the ten stucco statues in niches of the walls to the left and right of the altar. ## Related artworks - [Adam]() - [Amphitrite]() - [Candle Holder Angel]() - [Detail of the façade]() - [Detail of the façade]() - [Neptune Fish Pond]() - [View of the façade]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
