"Disputation over the Most Holy Sacrament "

The Disputation of the Sacrament, or Disputa, is a painting by the Renaissance artist Raphael.

 It was painted between 1509 and 1510 as only the first part of Raphael's commission to decorate with frescoes the rooms that are now known as the Stanze di Raffaello, in the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican.

It was the private papal library where the supreme papal tribunal met.

In the painting, Raphael has created a scene spanning both heaven and earth.

Above, Christ is surrounded by the Blessed Virgin Mary, John the Baptist and various biblical figures such as Adam, Moses and Jacob. God the Father sits above Jesus, depicted reigning over the golden light of heaven. Below, on the altar sits the monstrance.

The altar is flanked by theologians who are depicted debating Transubstantiation.

Christ's body is represented in the eucharist, which is discussed by representatives of the Church. among them are Pope Julius II, Pope Sixtus IV, Savonarola and Dante Alighieri. Pope Sixtus IV is the gold dressed pope in the bottom of the painting. Directly behind Sixtus is Dante, wearing red and sporting a laurel wreath.

In the left hand corner, there is a bald figure reading a book leaning over a railing.
This is Raphael's mentor and Renaissance architect Bramante.
