''Disputation of the Holy Sacrament'' (Italian: ''La Disputa del Sacramento''), also known as ''The Disputation of the Sacrament'' or ''The Triumph of Religion,'' is a renowned fresco by the Italian Renaissance artist Raphael. Created between 1509 and 1510, the fresco is one of the four Raphael Rooms in the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican. It was commissioned by Pope Julius II as part of Raphael's larger commission to decorate the Stanze di Raffaello, which were intended to be the Pope's private apartments.

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. ''Disputation of the Holy Sacrament'' is considered one of the greatest masterpieces of the High Renaissance and exemplifies Raphael's skill in the use of perspective, composition, and iconography.

The artwork represents a theological debate surrounding the nature of the Eucharist and visually articulates the Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation, where bread and wine are believed to become the actual body and blood of Christ during the Mass. The fresco is divided into two realms: the heavenly above and the earthly below. In the celestial sphere, Christ is flanked by the Virgin Mary and John the Baptist, with God the Father above them and the Holy Spirit between them, forming a trinity. This divine assembly is surrounded by various saints, martyrs, and angels in a semicircle.

Beneath this heavenly gathering, on the earthly plane, the church fathers, theologians, and philosophers are engaged in discussion and contemplation of the Eucharist, which is represented by a monstrance on an altar at the center of the composition. Among the figures depicted are recognizable portraits of great thinkers such as Dante, St. Thomas Aquinas, and possibly even a self-portrait of Raphael himself.

The ''Disputation of the Holy Sacrament'' is celebrated for its harmonious and balanced composition, its profound expression of theological ideas, and its successful integration of a vast number of figures in a coherent and compelling narrative. Raphael's use of color, light, and shadow enhances the drama and depth of the scene, making it a defining work of the Renaissance and a testament to the artist's genius.
