When the Cappella di San Luca was officially conceded to the Accademia del Disegno in 1565, it was already partly furnished and decorated by Montorsoli. In the first place, there were two statues of painted terracotta representing Moses and St Paul, which the Servite sculptor had produced in the 1530s. Furthermore, in the early 1560s Montorsoli had designed the altar and the marble tombstone, which closed off the burial chamber beneath the chapel.
