"Carnival - Le Roi Boit" is a notable painting by David Teniers the Younger, a prolific Flemish artist of the 17th century renowned for his genre scenes depicting peasant life. Created in 1690, this artwork captures the festive spirit of Carnival, a period of merrymaking and excess preceding the austerity of Lent in the Christian calendar.

The painting is a vibrant tableau of revelry, illustrating the traditional "Feast of Fools" where social hierarchies were temporarily upended. At the center of the composition is the "King of the Carnival," often a peasant or commoner mockingly crowned for the day, surrounded by a boisterous crowd of villagers indulging in dance, music, and the eponymous act of drinking. The phrase "Le Roi Boit" translates to "The King Drinks," and it is likely that Teniers depicted the moment when the crowd cheers on their temporary monarch as he partakes in the libations, a customary highlight of the festivities.

Teniers' skillful use of color and detail brings the chaotic gaiety of the scene to life, with each character rendered with individuality and expressive features. The painting not only serves as a visual record of 17th-century customs but also showcases Teniers' mastery in capturing the nuances of human expression and the textures of the rustic environment.

As a work of art, "Carnival - Le Roi Boit" is significant for its historical and cultural portrayal of peasant life, offering insights into the social practices and celebrations of the time. It is a testament to Teniers' ability to elevate genre painting, a form that was often considered inferior to historical and religious subjects, to a level of high art through his technical prowess and keen observation.

The painting is held in high regard for its art historical value and is often studied for its contribution to the genre of peasant scenes, a subject that Teniers and his contemporaries, such as Adriaen Brouwer and Jan Steen, frequently explored. "Carnival - Le Roi Boit" remains an important piece in understanding the oeuvre of David Teniers the Younger and the broader context of Flemish Baroque painting.
