The King Drinks or The Draw of the Feve of the Epiphany
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating painting by Jacob Jordaens, a renowned Flemish artist from the 17th century. This impressive artwork, measuring 1.52x2.04 meters, can be found in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The scene depicted in this painting showcases a joyful and festive atmosphere during an epiphany celebration. A large family gathers around a table filled with delicious food and drinks. The central focus of the composition is on the king who holds a glass of red wine, symbolizing his regal status and indulgence. Jordaens skillfully captures the essence of tradition and customs through this piece. The presence of a crown suggests that this gathering may be partaking in an age-old custom where one lucky person finds a hidden feve (bean) within their slice of galette (a traditional cake). This discovery would make them "king" for the day. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring life to every character present in this domestic setting. It evokes feelings of warmth, happiness, and unity among family members as they come together to celebrate this special occasion. "The King Drinks or The Draw of the Feve of the Epiphany" is not only a remarkable example of Flemish art but also serves as a reminder that traditions have always played an essential role in bringing people closer together throughout history.
