"Epiphany (Le gâteau des rois)" is a notable oil painting created in 1774 by the French artist Jean-Baptiste Greuze, who was renowned for his genre paintings and portraiture that often carried moral themes. The painting depicts the traditional celebration of Epiphany, a Christian feast day that commemorates the visit of the Magi to the Christ Child and is often associated with the serving of a special cake known as "King's Cake" or "gâteau des rois" in French.

In Greuze's work, the scene is set within a domestic interior, capturing a family's intimate moment during the Epiphany celebration. The focal point of the composition is the serving of the cake, around which the family members are gathered with expressions of anticipation and joy. The painting is imbued with the sentimental and moral overtones characteristic of Greuze's work, reflecting the virtues of family unity and simple domestic pleasure.

The artist's skillful use of lighting and color enhances the painting's emotional impact, drawing the viewer's attention to the faces of the participants and the cake that is about to be divided. The tradition of the "King's Cake" involves hiding a small trinket or bean inside the cake; the person who finds it in their slice is declared the "king" or "queen" for the day, adding an element of surprise and festivity to the occasion.

"Epiphany (Le gâteau des rois)" is a fine example of Greuze's genre scenes that were popular in the 18th century for their narrative quality and moral undertones. The painting not only captures a moment of French cultural tradition but also serves as a testament to the artist's ability to convey complex human emotions and social values through his art. The work is significant in the context of Greuze's oeuvre and contributes to our understanding of the social customs and artistic sensibilities of the period.
