The Disputation of the Holy Sacrament (La Disputa), painted by the Italian Renaissance artist Raphael between 1509 and 1510, is one of the masterpieces that adorns the walls of the Stanza della Segnatura in the Vatican Palaces. This fresco, measuring approximately 500 x 770 cm, is a monumental representation of theology, one of the four branches of knowledge that the room's frescoes collectively celebrate, alongside philosophy, poetry, and law. The work is renowned for its harmonious depiction of the heavenly and earthly realms, unified in the adoration of the Eucharist.

The composition of La Disputa is ingeniously divided into two realms: the celestial sphere above and the ecclesiastical assembly below, both centered around the Eucharist displayed on an altar at the midpoint of the painting. In the heavenly realm, Christ is seated in majesty, flanked by the Virgin Mary and John the Baptist, with God the Father above and the Holy Spirit descending in the form of a dove, completing the Trinity. This divine assembly is surrounded by a host of angels and saints, including key figures such as Peter, Paul, and Moses, who are depicted in deep contemplation or in spirited discussion about the mystery of the transubstantiation.

Below, Raphael portrays a gathering of the Church's greatest theologians and philosophers, both historical and contemporary to his time, engaged in a theological debate about the Eucharist. This assembly includes church fathers like Augustine and Gregory the Great, alongside renowned scholars such as Thomas Aquinas and Dante Alighieri, symbolizing the continuity and unity of Christian thought through the ages. The figures are arranged in a semi-circle, mirroring the celestial assembly above, and are depicted with a remarkable degree of individuality and expression, showcasing Raphael's mastery of human anatomy and his skill in capturing the nuances of human emotion and intellect.

La Disputa is celebrated for its intricate iconography, its profound theological implications, and its visual representation of the harmony between the earthly and divine. Raphael's use of perspective, color, and light not only enhances the spatial depth and the hierarchical structure of the composition but also imbues the scene with a sense of divine illumination. The fresco is a testament to Raphael's genius in encapsulating complex theological concepts in a visually compelling and accessible manner, making it a cornerstone of Renaissance art and a pivotal work in the oeuvre of one of the era's most revered artists.
