The Disputation of the Holy Sacrament (Italian: La Disputa del Sacramento), commonly known as La Disputa, is a renowned fresco by the Italian Renaissance artist Raphael. Created between 1509 and 1510, this masterpiece is one of the four Raphael Rooms frescoes commissioned by Pope Julius II for the Stanza della Segnatura in the Vatican Palace, Rome. La Disputa, an iconic work in the High Renaissance art movement, is celebrated for its harmonious composition, profound spiritual theme, and innovative use of perspective.

The fresco measures approximately 500 x 770 cm and is a complex allegory of the Catholic Eucharist, illustrating the theological unity between the celestial and earthly realms through the central theme of the Holy Sacrament. The artwork is divided into two main sections: the upper half depicts the Heavenly realm with Christ at the center, flanked by the Virgin Mary, John the Baptist, and a host of angels and saints in a semicircular arrangement. This celestial gathering looks down upon the Eucharist displayed on an altar that bridges the gap to the lower half of the painting, which represents the Earthly realm. Here, the Church Fathers, theologians, and other religious figures are engaged in a lively theological debate about the mystery of the transubstantiation.

Raphael's skillful use of perspective and light not only unifies the celestial and earthly domains but also guides the viewer's gaze towards the central figure of Christ, emphasizing the theological centrality of the Eucharist. The figures are rendered with such individuality and expressiveness that they enhance the narrative quality of the fresco, inviting viewers to contemplate the divine mystery it portrays.

La Disputa is not only a testament to Raphael's mastery of fresco technique and his deep understanding of Christian theology but also reflects the intellectual and spiritual aspirations of the Renaissance. Through this work, Raphael contributes to the visual articulation of Catholic doctrine, making it an invaluable piece of religious and cultural heritage. Its enduring significance lies in its ability to convey complex theological concepts through a harmonious and visually compelling composition, securing its place as one of the most admired works of the Renaissance period.
