"Miracle of the Desecrated Host (Scene 5)" is a vivid religious painting by the Renaissance artist Paolo Uccello, created between 1465 and 1469. This piece is one of a series of six distinct scenes, which form a narrative cycle commissioned by the Corpus Domini Confraternity, based Urbino, Italy. The series is among Uccello's final works and highlights his ability to masterfully combine Gothic detail with Renaissance spatial principles.

"Miracle of the Desecrated Host (Scene 5)" centers on the climactic action in the narrative, illustrating the moment when a desecrated Host miraculously survives being thrown into a cauldron by a Jewish man (as mentioned in the narrative). This supernatural occurrence solidifies the renown of the Eucharist, often interpreted as a testimony to its divine origin and power.

Uccello's work on this piece is notably dramatic and poignant, showcasing his expertise in foreshortening, perspective, and intricate detail. His unique style competently depicts the intensity of scenes and the individual emotions of the characters. The painting is currently housed at the Galleria Nazionale delle Marche, in Urbino, a testament to Uccello's artistic legacy and his contribution to Italian Renaissance art.

The commission for the series was part of a larger initiative by the Corpus Domini Confraternity to combat Eucharistic abuses and promote the reverence of the Host. However, it's notable for its anti-semitic narrative which reflects the societal discriminations during the period. Modern scholarship on the work often focuses on this aspect, in the context of both historical religious conflicts and the broader cultural climate of the time.

This painting, like the entire series, remains a significant artifact of 15th-century religious art, offering valuable insights into the sociopolitical and cultural milieu of the time.
