"Twelfth-night (The King Drinks)" is a celebrated oil painting by Flemish artist David Teniers the Younger, created between 1634 and 1640. This work is an exemplar of Teniers' genre paintings, which often depicted scenes of peasant life with a keen eye for detail and a touch of humor. The painting's title refers to the Twelfth Night, a festival marking the end of the Christmas season and the eve of the Epiphany, traditionally celebrated with revelry and the choosing of a "king" for the festivities.

In "Twelfth-night (The King Drinks)," Teniers captures the boisterous atmosphere of a peasant celebration. The scene is set in a rustic interior, where a group of merrymakers is gathered around a table. At the center of the composition, the chosen "king" is depicted with a crown on his head, raising a glass as if toasting, while his companions look on with varying expressions of amusement and inebriation. The painting is rich in narrative detail, with each figure contributing to the overall sense of conviviality and excess that characterizes the event.

Teniers' skillful use of lighting and texture brings a sense of realism to the scene, highlighting the artist's mastery of the genre. The painting's palette is dominated by earthy tones, which enhances the rustic quality of the subject matter. The artist's ability to convey the textures of the various materials, from the gleam of pewter tankards to the roughness of the peasants' garments, adds to the tactile quality of the work.

"Twelfth-night (The King Drinks)" is not only a vibrant portrayal of peasant life but also a reflection of the social customs and traditions of the 17th-century Southern Netherlands. The painting is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as a valuable historical document that offers insight into the cultural practices of the time. It remains a significant work in the oeuvre of David Teniers the Younger, whose contributions to Flemish art have been celebrated for their vividness and charm.
