"The Census at Bethlehem" is a renowned oil-on-panel painting by Flemish artist Pieter Bruegel the Elder, completed in 1566. This masterpiece is often celebrated for its intricate depiction of a winter scene in a Flemish village, where the inhabitants are shown registering for the census decreed by the Roman Emperor Caesar Augustus, as described in the Gospel of Luke. This biblical event is cleverly juxtaposed with the contemporary 16th-century life of the Netherlands, under Spanish rule, which allows Bruegel to subtly comment on the social and political issues of his time.

The painting is notable for its meticulous attention to detail, which is evident in the various activities of the villagers that Bruegel portrays with both accuracy and empathy. The central narrative of the census is cleverly woven into the broader tapestry of everyday life, as Bruegel includes a diverse range of characters and scenes, from children playing on the ice to a procession of monks. The work is also significant for its use of landscape, with the cold, wintry environment contributing to the overall atmosphere and mood of the scene.

"The Census at Bethlehem" is part of Bruegel's body of work that reflects his keen observation of peasant life, as well as his ability to infuse his paintings with layers of meaning. The work is currently housed in the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium in Brussels, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance. As a detail of the larger work, "The Census at Bethlehem (detail) 7" would focus on a specific aspect of the painting, offering a closer look at Bruegel's technique and the narrative elements he employs to engage the viewer.
