''The Census at Bethlehem'' (also known as ''The Numbering at Bethlehem'') is an oil-on-panel by Flemish renaissance artist Pieter Bruegel the Elder, painted in 1566. Acquired in 1902, it is currently held and exhibited at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium in Brussels. ==Description==
As often before, Bruegel treats a biblical story as a contemporary event. And once again, reference to particular political events has been adduced - in this case, the severity of the Spanish administration in the southern Netherlands.〔Under Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain, the Netherlands region was part of the Seventeen Provinces, which also included most of present-day Belgium, Luxembourg, and some land in France and Germany.〕 However, Bruegel may well be making a more general criticism of bureaucratic methods.〔Cf. Pietro Allegretti. ''Brueghel''. Milan:Skira, 2003. ISBN 0-00-001088-X 〕 The events depicted are described in Luke 2, 1-5: This is a rare subject in previous Netherlandish art. The ruined castle in the backgroundsee 2nd detail is based on the towers and gates of Amsterdam.〔Cf. Max Seidel, Roger H. Marijnissen. ''Bruegel''. Pt.2, Random House, 1985. ISBN 0-517-44772-X〕
