The Stanza della Segnatura Ceiling: Theology, also known as the Disputa, is one of the four Raphael Rooms located in the Apostolic Palace of the Vatican. Painted by the renowned Italian Renaissance artist Raphael between 1508 and 1511, this fresco is a seminal work that epitomizes the Renaissance's intellectual and artistic achievements. The Stanza della Segnatura was the first of the rooms to be decorated and was originally intended as a library and private office for Pope Julius II.

The Theology fresco, covering the ceiling of the room, is part of a larger scheme that includes representations of Philosophy, Poetry, and Justice, each illustrating one of the four branches of human knowledge and wisdom. Theology, in this context, represents the theological and spiritual truths as understood by the Catholic Church. The artwork is often referred to as the Disputa, a term that underscores the debate or discussion about the nature of the Eucharist, a central theme of the piece.

Raphael's composition for Theology is both complex and harmonious, featuring a celestial realm above where the Holy Trinity is surrounded by the Madonna, John the Baptist, various saints, and angels. Below, on the earthly plane, a congregation of theologians, church fathers, and scholars are engaged in a theological discourse, symbolizing the continuity of Christian tradition and the unity of the Church's teachings. The fresco is celebrated for its intricate detail, balanced composition, and the way Raphael has managed to fuse the heavenly and earthly realms into a cohesive and visually stunning narrative.

The Stanza della Segnatura Ceiling: Theology by Raphael is not only a masterpiece of High Renaissance art but also a profound expression of the spiritual and intellectual aspirations of its era. Through this work, Raphael has contributed to the visual articulation of Christian theology, making it an enduring symbol of the harmony between faith and reason.
