EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and lively painting, titled "La fete des rois. The Bean King (The Feast of the Bean King)", captures a joyous celebration known as the Feast of the Bean King or La Celebration du Roi Haricot. Painted by Jacob Jordaens in 1638, this piece showcases a group of people with grotesque expressions, some dressed as jesters and clowns, raising their glasses to toast the king at the center who wears a crown. The Feast of the Bean King is celebrated during Epiphany with the tradition of hiding a bean or feve inside a galette, designating whoever finds it as king for the day. This festive event takes place in Flemish style baroque art and is displayed at Musee de l'Ermitage in Saint Petersburg. In this painting, we see an array of colorful characters enjoying themselves amidst an abundance of food and drink. From musicians playing instruments like bagpipes to children laughing and animals adding to the merriment, there is an atmosphere filled with laughter and cheer. Jordaens skillfully captures not only the physical appearance but also conveys emotions through his brushstrokes. The scene exudes energy and excitement while showcasing Flemish customs and traditions. This artwork serves as a reminder that celebrations have always been an integral part of human culture throughout history. It reminds us to embrace joyous moments together while indulging in delicious food, music, dance, and revelry.
