Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio Da Urbino) (i) - Oil (i) - Renaissance (i) The Disputation of the Sacrament (Italian: La disputa del sacramento), or Disputa, is a painting by the Italian 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. At the time, this room was known as the Stanza della segnatura, and was the private papal library where the supreme papal tribunal met (Adams 344). Christ's body is represented in the eucharist, which is discussed by representatives of the Church; among them this is Dante Alighieri.
