Musées du Vatican - Chambre de la Signature - La Dispute du Saint-Sacrement

The composition is divided into a celestial upper tier where Christ is enthroned between the Virgin and John the Baptist, and a terrestrial lower tier where theologians and Church Fathers debate the nature of the Host. A monstrance holding the consecrated Eucharist sits on a central altar, serving as the vanishing point that connects the divine and human realms. Notable figures include the four Doctors of the Church, Pope Julius II, and the poet Dante Alighieri on the far right.

This fresco represents 'Revealed Truth' (Theology) as part of a philosophical program intended to reconcile Neoplatonism with Christian doctrine. It reflects the intellectual atmosphere of the Papal court under Julius II, where the search for a 'universal harmony' between ancient wisdom and scripture was paramount.
