The Christmas vigil will start in a few hours. People busy themselves, rapt in their own lives …
a biblical scene …

His round eye captures the attention …
the animal is accompanying a carpenter and a woman sitting on the back of a donkey, wrapped in a large
blue cape

a person is giving his money, probably to a tax collector
another fills out a register

a red cupboard with the Habsburg coat of arms hanging

The Census at Bethlehem
by
Pieter Bruegel the Elder
1565
Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium
Seen from above, the snow-covered village stretches on the one side to a ruined castle and on the other, beyond the pond, as far as
the church.
People are going about their daily tasks: sweeping the snow, building a cabin, crossing the pond on foot next to a ferry-boat caught in
the ice, gathering around a fire. The children are playing, throwing snowballs, skating, spinning their tops, sledging.
In the right hand foreground, a man with a large carpenter's saw is leading an ox and an ass, the latter bearing a women wrapped
tightly in an ample blue mantle.
Without attracting attention, they pick their way between the carts of beer barrels and bales. These are Joseph and Mary, who have
come to Bethlehem to be enrolled in the universal census ordered by Emperor Augustus.
The Gospel episode is associated with the payment of tax. And indeed to the left, the crowd is pressing in front of the tax-gatherer's
office, installed at the window of the inn, whilst in front of the door, a pig is being killed.
In a masterful synthesis of religious painting, genre scene and landscape, Bruegel recomposes everyday life, revisiting the biblical
story to create a picture of a rarely equaled richness, which can be read in several ways.
14 copies of this panel are known, one of which, from the hand of Brueghel the Younger, is also in the Brussels museum.

  • 54. The Census at Bethlehem by Pieter Bruegel the Elder 1565 Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium Seen from above, the snow-covered village stretches on the one side to a ruined castle and on the other, beyond the pond, as far as the church. People are going about their daily tasks: sweeping the snow, building a cabin, crossing the pond on foot next to a ferry-boat caught in the ice, gathering around a fire. The children are playing, throwing snowballs, skating, spinning their tops, sledging. In the right hand foreground, a man with a large carpenter's saw is leading an ox and an ass, the latter bearing a women wrapped tightly in an ample blue mantle. Without attracting attention, they pick their way between the carts of beer barrels and bales. These are Joseph and Mary, who have come to Bethlehem to be enrolled in the universal census ordered by Emperor Augustus. The Gospel episode is associated with the payment of tax. And indeed to the left, the crowd is pressing in front of the tax-gatherer's office, installed at the window of the inn, whilst in front of the door, a pig is being killed. In a masterful synthesis of religious painting, genre scene and landscape, Bruegel recomposes everyday life, revisiting the biblical story to create a picture of a rarely equaled richness, which can be read in several ways. 14 copies of this panel are known, one of which, from the hand of Brueghel the Younger, is also in the Brussels museum.
