The picture had many adventures. The Duke of Alva took it to Spain and subsequently it became the property of the famous Prince of the Peace, in whose collection it remained until 1808, when it fell into the hands of Murat. It thus found its way back into Italy. Lord Castlereagh bought it and the " Ecce Homo," which hangs near it, from the ex- Qiieen of Naples at Vienna, and in 1834 it was purchased from Lord Londonderry for the National Gallery. Rubens' " Peace and War " was presented to Charl...es by the painter in 1630. It now only fetched 100/., and went to the Doria Gallery at Genoa, whence it was sold, brought back to England, and presented to the National Gallery in 1828 by the first Duke of Sutherland. After the Restoration, strong efforts were made to gather the dispersed pictures again.
