"The Beggars" (French: "Les Mendiants") is an oil-on-panel painting by the Flemish Renaissance artist Pieter Bruegel the Elder, created in 1568. This work is one of Bruegel's later pieces, completed just a year before his death in 1569. The painting measures 18.5 cm by 26.7 cm and is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France.

The painting depicts a group of four beggars, each with different disabilities, making their way along a road. They are shown in contemporary 16th-century attire, and their physical conditions and gestures suggest a variety of ailments and impairments. The scene is set against a rural backdrop, typical of Bruegel's landscapes, which often serve as a stage for human activity and social commentary.

"The Beggars" is noted for its detailed portrayal of the figures and the artist's subtle use of allegory. Bruegel's work often reflects on the human condition, and this painting is no exception; it has been interpreted as a commentary on the social and economic issues of his time, as well as a reflection on the human propensity to persevere in the face of adversity. The painting's small size suggests it may have been intended for private devotion or contemplation.

The work is emblematic of Bruegel's style, which is characterized by a keen observation of peasant life and a wry, often satirical, approach to the follies of mankind. "The Beggars" is a fine example of Bruegel's skill in blending narrative, landscape, and character study to create a thought-provoking piece that invites viewers to look beyond the surface and consider the deeper meanings of the work.

As with many of Bruegel's paintings, "The Beggars" has been subject to various interpretations over the centuries, and it continues to be studied for its complex interplay of themes, including poverty, disability, and social order. Its place in the Louvre's collection ensures that it remains accessible to the public and scholars alike, contributing to the ongoing discourse on Bruegel's artistic legacy and the socio-cultural context of the 16th century.
