Disputation over the Immaculate Conception is a 1515 oil by Genga, a Mannerism work, held at Pinacoteca di Brera.
This painting shows a large group of people gathered around the Virgin Mary and the baby Jesus. The Virgin Mary is wearing a red dress and a blue cloak, and she's sitting on a step with the baby Jesus on her lap. The people around them are all looking at the Virgin Mary and the baby Jesus, and some of them are holding books or other objects. The painting is very detailed, with lots of different textures and colors. The people in the painting are all dressed in different clothes, and some of them have halos around their heads. The background of the painting is dark, which makes the people and objects in the foreground stand out even more. The painting is held at the Pinacoteca di Brera.
