"The Consequences of War; A Fragment" is a notable artwork by the Flemish Baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens, created circa 1638–1639. This allegorical painting is recognized for its powerful depiction of the ravages and suffering brought about by war. Rubens, who was not only a prominent artist but also a diplomat, was deeply affected by the Thirty Years' War and its impact on Europe, and his experiences are reflected in this work.

The painting is characterized by its dramatic composition and vivid imagery, which convey a poignant message about the futility and destruction of conflict. Central to the piece is the figure of Mars, the Roman god of war, who is depicted leaving the temple of Janus, which, according to Roman tradition, remained open during times of conflict. Mars is shown being led by the figure of Fury, with the torch of war in her hand, while the land behind them burns. The foreground of the painting is strewn with the symbols of arts, sciences, and agriculture, all trampled underfoot, signifying the disruption of society and culture by war.

Rubens's mastery of color and form is evident in the dynamic figures and the stark contrasts that highlight the chaos and emotion of the scene. The work serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and is considered one of Rubens's most compelling political statements.

"The Consequences of War; A Fragment" is housed in the Palatine Gallery of the Palazzo Pitti in Florence, Italy. It remains an important piece in the study of Baroque art and is often cited in discussions of art that comment on social and political issues. As a historical document, it offers insight into the mindset of the 17th-century European elite regarding the widespread strife of their time.
