Peter Paul Rubens and workshop, The Return of the Holy Family, oil on canvas transferred from panel, ca. 1620

The Return of the Holy Family from Jerusalem by Peter Paul Rubens and workshop was returned in June 2017 after 240 years to the church of St. Charles Borromeo (former Jesuit Church) in Antwerp for which it was originally painted. After a series of peregrinations, the painting was acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1871. In 2012 St. Charles Borromeo Church was able to acquire it at auction at Christie’s. It was restored by KIK-IRPA in Brussels and installed above St. Joseph’s altar, to the left of the high altar, its original location.
