By the Duke of Wellington (1759-1852) about paintings of Pieter-Paul Rubens: “I find that I have
in London only two works by Rubens. One (a head that I bought) and the holy family which was
a present of Ferdinand the 7th of Spain. The Hercules and the lion is in the country and quite
unimportant (...) I can give no account of the Bacchus which I think is not in my possession at all.
The holy family was always much admired by Sir Thomas Lawrence”.
