Chapel of San Luca, Renaissance chapel in Santissima Annunziata, Florence, Italy.
The Chapel of San Luca contains twelve niches housing statues of biblical figures, with frescoes depicting scenes from both testaments on its walls.
In June 1565, the chapel became the home of Accademia del Disegno, the first official art academy in Europe, serving as a venue for meetings and ceremonies.
The interior decoration program combines religious themes with artistic elements, featuring sculptures of prophets, evangelists, and paintings of the Holy Trinity.
Visitors can find the chapel inside the Santissima Annunziata complex at coordinates 43.777344 North and 11.261176 East in Florence's first district.
A central plaque by architect Giovanni Angelo Montorsoli marks the entrance to a burial crypt beneath the chapel floor.
