"The Census at Bethlehem (after Brueghel the Elder)" is a painting by Pieter Brueghel the Younger, a Dutch artist known for his meticulous depictions of landscapes and scenes of everyday life. This painting is a copy of a work by his father, Pieter Brueghel the Elder, portraying the biblical event of the census ordered by Herod, which led to the journey of Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem. The scene is set in a snowy winter landscape, teeming with figures engaged in various activities, reflecting the bustling life of a Flemish village. This painting is a testament to the younger Brueghel's talent for capturing the details and atmosphere of his father's works.
