Jacob Jordaens (1593–1678), a prominent figure of the Flemish Baroque painting movement, is renowned for his dynamic compositions, vibrant use of color, and incorporation of lively, often moralizing themes. Among his celebrated works, "The King Drinks" stands out as a quintessential example of Jordaens' mastery in depicting festive and boisterous scenes that are rich in symbolism and human emotion. This painting, likely created in the 17th century, vividly portrays the Twelfth Night festivities, a celebration of the Epiphany, which was a popular subject in Flemish art due to its themes of revelry and inversion of social norms.

"The King Drinks" is executed in oil on canvas, a medium that allowed Jordaens to achieve a remarkable depth of color and detail. The composition is bustling with figures, at the center of which is the "king" of the feast, identified by the tradition of the Twelfth Night cake that contained a hidden bean; the finder of the bean became the king for the day. Jordaens' depiction is not just a mere recording of a festive event but a canvas brimming with allegory, showcasing the folly of excess and the transient nature of earthly pleasures.

Jordaens' skill in rendering the textures of food, the gleam of pewter and glass, and the varied expressions of the participants, from jovial to inebriated, demonstrates his keen observation and ability to capture the essence of human life. The painting's dynamic composition, with figures almost spilling out of the frame, invites viewers into the scene, making them almost part of the merriment and chaos depicted.

"The King Drinks" by Jacob Jordaens is not only a celebration of a popular Flemish tradition but also a reflection on human nature, rendered with the artist's characteristic vibrancy and depth of insight. This work remains a significant contribution to the Baroque period, illustrating Jordaens' prowess as a storyteller through paint, and continues to captivate audiences with its energy, humor, and moral undertones.
