1510, Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio), Disputation of the Holy Sacrament (Disputa) -- Vatican Museums (Rome)

From the museum label: The fresco of the so-called Dispute over the Blessed Sacrament, or more correctly the Triumph of the Church, relates to the Theology. At the sides of the Trinity (with God the Father, the Christ between the Virgin and St. John the Baptist, and the Holy Spirit forming an axis in the center), the Triumphant Church is portrayed with patriarchs and prophets from the Old Testament alternating with apostles and martyrs, seated in a semicircle on the clouds. Looking from left to right, the personages portrayed are: St. Peter, Adam, St. John the Evangelist, David, St. Stephen, Jeremy, Judas Maccabeo, St. Lawrence, Moses, St. James Major, Abraham, St. Paul. The Militant Church is arranged on the Earth, to the sides of the altar where the ostensory is displayed with the Holy Sacrament. The four Fathers of the Latin Church are seated on the marble thrones near the altar: St. Gregory the Great (with Julius II's features), St. Jerome, St. Ambrose and St. Augustine. At the right side of the scene, a pope with golden cloak can be recognized as Sixtus IV, the uncle of Julius II; Dante Alighieri stands behind him and, on the far left, is Beato Angelico.
