"The St Ildefonso Altar (Outer Wings): The Holy Family Under the Apple Tree" is a notable work by the Flemish Baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens, created between 1630 and 1632. This painting is part of a larger altarpiece dedicated to Saint Ildefonso, a 7th-century bishop of Toledo, Spain, who is venerated as a saint in the Catholic Church. The altarpiece was originally commissioned for the Royal Alcázar of Madrid but is now housed in different locations, with the outer wings residing in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria.

The outer wings of the altarpiece, when closed, display "The Holy Family Under the Apple Tree," a serene and intimate portrayal of the Virgin Mary, Saint Joseph, and the Christ Child. Rubens' mastery of color and composition is evident in this work, as he harmoniously blends the figures with the lush landscape and the symbolic apple tree, which alludes to the Old Testament's Tree of Knowledge and signifies the redemption brought by Christ.

Rubens' depiction of the Holy Family is imbued with a sense of warmth and tenderness, reflecting the Counter-Reformation ideals that sought to emphasize the humanity of religious figures. The artist's use of chiaroscuro and dynamic brushwork adds depth and vitality to the scene, making it a prime example of his skill in conveying narrative and emotion through religious art.

"The St Ildefonso Altar (Outer Wings): The Holy Family Under the Apple Tree" is celebrated for its artistry and its role in the religious and cultural context of the 17th century. It remains an important piece in the oeuvre of Peter Paul Rubens and a significant artifact of Baroque religious art.
