As the painting makes its way back to Yorkshire, we take a look at people's reactions to the work and campaign...

"In comparison to the tens of millions currently paid for the work of some of our contemporary artists ($200 million for Warhol works alone last week in auction) - £2.7 million seems like a bargain for such a stunning masterpiece - and a great investment for the nation."


"Join the Art Fund and then you can help local and national collections acquire works of art such as this Brueghel (by the way it is painted by the Younger Peter not his much more famous father). And if the works of art are shown in a National Trust house and you are an Art Fund member, you get free admission. A win-win situation as they say!"


"This painting is a splendid example of the liveliness and variety which is such a feature of Flemish art at its best."


"One of the greatest artists of all time, Brueghel the Younger. Whether it is more accessible at Nostell Priory is of course another question, but personally I take the view that treasures should be available throughout the United Kingdom, and not just at the obvious places such as London, which is saturated."


"I really enjoyed seeing the fine detail of the artwork, I do hope they get enough money to install it in Nostell Priory."


"This afternoon my post consisted of a postcard from New York City and an A3 poster of Brueghel the Younger's The Procession to Calvary."


"Clive applauds an appeal at the National Gallery to rescue an outstanding piece of art for the nation"

"Instead of ringing x-factor or strictly this week, why not donate to a cause that will hopefully bring pleasure for many more years to millions."
