"The Bean King" is a notable painting by the Flemish Baroque artist Jacob Jordaens, created around 1640-1645. This work is a vivid representation of the traditional Epiphany celebration, a festive occasion that marks the visit of the Magi to the Christ Child. The painting is also known by its alternative title, "The King Drinks," which underscores the central theme of revelry and merrymaking.

Jordaens, a prominent figure in the Flemish art scene, was known for his dynamic compositions and robust figures, often imbued with a sense of vitality and exuberance. "The Bean King" is no exception, capturing a moment of lively festivity with a group of people gathered around a table, celebrating the election of the "king" who finds a hidden bean in his slice of cake. This tradition, deeply rooted in European folklore, is depicted with a sense of humor and a keen eye for detail.

The painting is characterized by its rich color palette and dramatic use of light and shadow, typical of the Baroque style. Jordaens employs a warm, earthy tone that enhances the convivial atmosphere of the scene. The figures are rendered with a robust physicality, their expressions and gestures conveying a sense of joy and camaraderie. The central figure, the Bean King, is often depicted with a crown and a goblet, symbolizing his temporary reign over the festivities.

"The Bean King" not only showcases Jordaens' technical prowess but also his ability to capture the essence of human interaction and social customs. The painting is housed in various collections, with notable versions in the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium in Brussels and the Louvre Museum in Paris. Through this work, Jordaens offers a glimpse into the cultural practices of his time, making "The Bean King" a valuable piece for both its artistic merit and its anthropological insights.
