"The Collector of Tithes" is a painting attributed to Pieter Brueghel the Younger, a Flemish painter known for his landscapes and genre scenes that often depicted peasant life. Born in 1564, Pieter Brueghel the Younger was the son of the renowned artist Pieter Bruegel the Elder and carried on his father's artistic legacy, often reproducing his father's works with variations. The painting in question, "The Collector of Tithes," is believed to be a satirical commentary on the collection of church taxes, a common practice in 16th and 17th-century Europe where a tenth of one's earnings or agricultural produce was given to the church.

While the exact date of creation for "The Collector of Tithes" is not definitively known, it is thought to have been produced in the late 16th or early 17th century, a period during which Brueghel the Younger was active.

The painting's composition often includes a central figure of the tithe collector, surrounded by peasants and villagers in a detailed landscape that reflects the social and economic conditions of the time.

"The Collector of Tithes" is considered an important work within Brueghel the Younger's oeuvre because it exemplifies his skill in narrative storytelling through art and his ability to capture the essence of rural life with both humor and a critical eye. The painting's theme resonates with the broader societal critique found in many of Brueghel's works, reflecting the artist's engagement with the social issues of his day.

As with many old master paintings, the provenance of "The Collector of Tithes" may include a history of ownership through various private collections and possibly public institutions.
