The "Disputation of the Holy Sacrament" (Italian: "La Disputa del Sacramento") is a renowned fresco by the Italian Renaissance artist Raffaello Sanzio, commonly known as Raphael. Painted between 1509 and 1510, this masterpiece is located in the Stanza della Segnatura, one of the four Raphael Rooms (Stanze di Raffaello) in the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican City. The fresco is part of a series of works commissioned by Pope Julius II to decorate his private library and study, reflecting the themes of theology, philosophy, poetry, and law.

The "Disputation of the Holy Sacrament" is a visual representation of the theological concept of the Eucharist, central to Catholic doctrine. The composition is divided into two distinct yet interconnected realms: the celestial and the terrestrial. In the upper section, Christ is enthroned in glory, flanked by the Virgin Mary and John the Baptist, with God the Father above and the Holy Spirit depicted as a dove below. Surrounding this divine assembly are various saints, prophets, and patriarchs, including Moses, Saint Peter, and Saint Paul, who are engaged in a heavenly discourse.

The lower section portrays the Church on Earth, with theologians, clergy, and laypeople gathered around an altar that holds the consecrated Host, symbolizing the presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Among the figures are notable Church Fathers such as Saint Augustine, Saint Jerome, and Saint Gregory the Great, who are depicted in animated discussion, emphasizing the importance of theological debate and the dissemination of sacred knowledge.

Raphael's masterful use of perspective, composition, and color harmoniously unites the two realms, creating a cohesive narrative that underscores the connection between Heaven and Earth through the sacrament of the Eucharist. The fresco not only serves as a theological statement but also as a testament to Raphael's artistic genius and his ability to convey complex religious concepts through visual art.
