Tullio Lombardo was involved in the major project of the redecoration of the Cappella dell'Arca di Sant'Antonio in Il Santo, Padua. The chapel, in which the relics of St Anthony are entombed, was elaborately refurbished with a series of nine monumental marble reliefs illustrating the Miracles of St Anthony carved from c. 1500 to 1577. Tullio was commissioned to sculpt five of these reliefs, although he completed only two of them, the Miracle of the Reattached Leg, begun in 1500, largely finished in 1501 and delivered in 1504, and the Miracle of the Miser's Heart (installed in 1525), the commission for which was transferred from Antonio Lombardo to Tullio in 1520.
