"St. Matthew and St. Mark, from the Vault of the Apse in the Chapel of St. Tarasius" is a fresco painted in 1442 by the Italian Renaissance artist Andrea del Castagno. Located in the now-lost Chapel of St. Tarasius in Florence, this artwork was part of a larger decorative scheme for the chapel, which was demolished in the 18th century. The fresco depicted the two evangelists, Matthew and Mark, as part of a series that likely included the other two evangelists, Luke and John, each represented in a quadrant of the vaulted ceiling.

Andrea del Castagno, known for his innovative use of perspective and strong, sculptural figures, would have imbued these images with a sense of depth and volume, characteristic of the early Renaissance style. His work often featured bold use of chiaroscuro and a dramatic sense of character in his figures, which would have been evident in the depictions of St. Matthew and St. Mark.

While the original frescoes have not survived, any discussion of them would rely on historical documentation or reproductions that may have been made prior to the chapel's destruction. As an artist, Andrea del Castagno was a significant figure in the Florentine Renaissance, and his works contributed to the development of fresco technique and the expressive potential of mural painting.

The loss of the Chapel of St. Tarasius and its frescoes is a reminder of the fragility of cultural heritage, and the importance of documentation and preservation efforts. Although the original work by Andrea del Castagno can no longer be appreciated in situ, its historical significance and the artist's legacy continue to be recognized and studied within the context of Renaissance art history.
