"The King Drinks" is a celebrated painting by Flemish artist Pieter Brueghel the Younger (1564–1638), also known as "Hell Brueghel" for his depictions of demons and hellish scenes. This artwork, however, diverges from such infernal subjects, illustrating a lively and detailed scene of a peasant feast celebrating the Twelfth Night, a festival marking the visit of the Three Wise Men to the Christ Child. The painting is a testament to Brueghel's skill in capturing the essence of peasant life, a theme commonly explored by the Brueghel artistic dynasty.

Created in the early 17th century, "The King Drinks" is one of several versions painted by Pieter Brueghel the Younger, based on a similar composition by his father, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, who was renowned for his innovative approach to genre painting and peasant imagery. The younger Brueghel's rendition is characterized by its vibrant depiction of the festivities, where a boisterous crowd gathers around a table to partake in the merriment and watch as the 'king'—the man who found a bean in his slice of cake—presides over the celebration.

The painting's composition is rich with narrative detail, showcasing a variety of characters and activities that provide insight into 17th-century customs and social life. Brueghel's use of color, light, and texture enhances the festive atmosphere, while his keen observation of human behavior and interaction reflects a humorous yet empathetic portrayal of the peasant class.

"The King Drinks" is not only a significant work in Pieter Brueghel the Younger's oeuvre but also an important piece of cultural history, offering a window into the traditions and daily life of the period. The painting is held in high regard for its artistry and historical value, and it continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to the genre of peasant scenes in Flemish art.
