The "Disputation of the Holy Sacrament" (La Disputa) is a renowned fresco by the Italian Renaissance artist Raphael, painted between 1509 and 1510. This masterpiece is part of Raphael's commission to decorate the rooms now known as the Stanze di Raffaello, located in the Vatican Palace. The fresco is situated in the Stanza della Segnatura, which served as Pope Julius II's library and private office. The "Disputation of the Holy Sacrament" is one of four major frescoes in the room, each representing a different branch of human knowledge: theology, philosophy, poetry, and law.

The fresco depicts a celestial vision of the Church Triumphant and the Church Militant, illustrating the theological concept of the Eucharist. The composition is divided into two distinct yet interconnected realms: the heavenly and the earthly. In the upper section, Christ is enthroned in glory, flanked by the Virgin Mary and John the Baptist, with God the Father above and the Holy Spirit below, forming a vertical axis of divine presence. Surrounding them are an array of saints, prophets, and patriarchs, including Adam, Moses, and King David.

The lower section portrays a gathering of theologians, clergy, and scholars, engaged in a fervent discussion about the Holy Sacrament. This assembly includes notable figures such as St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, and Pope Gregory I, among others. The earthly participants are depicted with a sense of dynamism and intellectual fervor, reflecting the lively debates and discussions that characterized the theological discourse of the time.

Raphael's masterful use of perspective, composition, and color harmoniously unites the two realms, emphasizing the continuity between the divine and the human. The fresco not only showcases Raphael's artistic genius but also serves as a profound visual representation of the Catholic Church's teachings on the Eucharist and the communion of saints. The "Disputation of the Holy Sacrament" remains a significant work in the history of art, embodying the intellectual and spiritual aspirations of the High Renaissance.
