The Disputa, also known as the "Disputation of the Holy Sacrament," is a renowned fresco by the Italian Renaissance artist Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio of Urbino). Painted between 1509 and 1510, it is one of the four frescoes that adorn the walls of the Stanza della Segnatura in the Vatican Palace. This room was originally intended to serve as Pope Julius II's library and private office, and it later became part of the Vatican Museums.

The fresco is a masterful representation of theological debate and the divine revelation of the Eucharist. It is divided into two distinct realms: the celestial and the terrestrial. The upper section of the fresco depicts the heavenly sphere, where Christ is enthroned in glory, flanked by the Virgin Mary and John the Baptist. Surrounding them are an array of saints, prophets, and angels, including figures such as Adam, Moses, and King David. God the Father is depicted above Christ, and the Holy Spirit, in the form of a dove, is positioned between them, symbolizing the Holy Trinity.

The lower section of the fresco represents the earthly sphere, where a group of theologians, Church Fathers, and other religious figures are engaged in animated discussion about the nature of the Eucharist. Central to this scene is an altar displaying the consecrated Host, which serves as the focal point of the theological debate. Notable figures in this assembly include St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, and Pope Gregory I, among others.

Raphael's use of perspective and his ability to harmoniously blend the celestial and terrestrial realms are particularly noteworthy. The Disputa is celebrated not only for its intricate composition and vibrant colors but also for its profound theological symbolism. It reflects the intellectual and spiritual fervor of the High Renaissance and underscores Raphael's status as one of the foremost artists of his time. The fresco continues to be a subject of admiration and study, embodying the synthesis of art, theology, and philosophy that characterized the Renaissance.
