"Two Tax Gatherers" is a notable painting by the Flemish Renaissance artist Marinus van Reymerswaele, created in the 16th century. The work is renowned for its detailed depiction of two tax collectors, a subject that reflects the artist's fascination with the professions and characters of his time. Van Reymerswaele's meticulous attention to the textures of materials and the lifelike representation of his subjects' expressions are evident in this painting, which serves as a critique of avarice and corruption associated with tax collectors of the period.

The painting typically features two men, often portrayed with exaggerated features to emphasize their greed and moral corruption. They are surrounded by the tools of their trade, including ledgers, quills, and coins, which are rendered with high precision and realism. The figures are usually dressed in elaborate clothing, indicative of their ill-gotten wealth, and their faces are characterized by a lack of empathy, highlighting the artist's moral message.

"Two Tax Gatherers" is considered an important work within van Reymerswaele's oeuvre and is exemplary of the Northern Renaissance's focus on social commentary and the human condition. The painting's exact date of creation is uncertain, but it is generally attributed to the 1540s. Multiple versions of this subject by van Reymerswaele exist, indicating its popularity during the artist's lifetime and suggesting that it may have been a theme he revisited several times.

The work is held in high esteem for its historical value, providing insight into 16th-century societal attitudes towards taxation and the portrayal of civic officials. It also contributes to the understanding of Northern Renaissance art, particularly in the Netherlands, where genre scenes and character studies were gaining prominence. "Two Tax Gatherers" remains a significant piece for art historians and critics, reflecting the era's complex interplay between art, morality, and social critique.
