The "Disputation of the Holy Sacrament" (Italian: "La Disputa del Sacramento"), also known as "The Disputation of the Blessed Sacrament" or simply "La Disputa," is one of the masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance artist Raphael. Completed between 1509 and 1510, this fresco is one of the four Raphael Rooms in the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican. The work was commissioned by Pope Julius II as part of the extensive renovation of the palace and represents theology, one of the four branches of knowledge, alongside philosophy, poetry, and justice, each depicted in one of the rooms.

The fresco measures approximately 500 x 770 cm and is located on the wall of the Stanza della Segnatura, the first room that Raphael decorated. "La Disputa" is a visual representation of the theological debate surrounding the nature of the Eucharist and the mystery of transubstantiation. The composition is divided into two realms: the heavenly above and the earthly below. In the celestial sphere, Christ is at the center, flanked by the Virgin Mary and John the Baptist, and surrounded by a host of saints, martyrs, and angels. Below them, the Holy Spirit is depicted as a dove, radiating light that illuminates the Eucharist on the altar in the terrestrial realm.

The earthly section features a gathering of theologians, church fathers, and scholars engaged in discussion or contemplation of the Holy Sacrament. Among the figures represented are likely Saints Thomas Aquinas, Bonaventure, Augustine, and Gregory the Great, as well as contemporary figures such as Dante Alighieri and possibly even a self-portrait of Raphael himself. The fresco is celebrated for its harmonious composition, the skillful use of perspective, and the profound synthesis of Renaissance humanism with Christian theology.

"La Disputa" is not only a testament to Raphael's artistic genius but also a reflection of the intellectual and spiritual concerns of the High Renaissance. It remains one of the most studied and admired works in the history of art, offering viewers a glimpse into the rich interplay between faith and reason that characterized the period.
