''Disputation of the Holy Sacrament'' (''La Disputa'') is a renowned fresco by the Italian Renaissance artist Raphael. Completed between 1509 and 1510, the work is situated in the Stanza della Segnatura, one of the Raphael Rooms in the Apostolic Palace of the Vatican. The fresco is one of four that Raphael was commissioned to create by Pope Julius II, each representing one of the four domains of human knowledge: theology, philosophy, poetry, and law. ''La Disputa'' represents theology and is considered a masterpiece of High Renaissance art.

The fresco depicts a heavenly scene above and an ecclesiastical gathering below, both centered around the Eucharist. In the celestial realm, Christ is flanked by the Virgin Mary and John the Baptist, with apostles, saints, and Old Testament figures surrounding them in a semi-circle. Below them, the Holy Spirit is represented as a dove, and further down, the Eucharist is displayed on an altar. This central axis connects the divine with the earthly.

On the earthly plane, the Church Fathers, theologians, and other religious figures are engaged in a theological debate concerning the mystery of the transubstantiation, the process by which, according to Catholic doctrine, bread and wine become the body and blood of Christ during the Mass. The arrangement of figures and the use of perspective in the fresco create a cohesive space that unites the celestial and terrestrial realms, emphasizing the connection between the divine and the intellectual pursuit of understanding the divine mystery.

Raphael's ''Disputation of the Holy Sacrament'' is celebrated for its harmonious composition, the clarity of its figures, and its profound interpretation of theological themes. The fresco's influence extends beyond its religious significance; it is also admired for its technical achievements and its role in the development of Renaissance art. The work reflects Raphael's ability to synthesize elements from his predecessors, such as Leonardo da Vinci's use of chiaroscuro and Michelangelo's dynamic figures, while also contributing his own innovations in the depiction of space and narrative.
