According to an old tradition, the Netherlands January 6 - Feast of the national holiday? Three Wise Men? or? the three kings?



period from December 25 to January 5, known as 12 Days of Christmas. The latter, Twelfth Night, night fell on January 6.



The first Christians were Jews and do not celebrate Christmas (for the Jewish doctrine of human birth -? Beginning of sorrows and pains?, Although For example, the Jewish king Herod celebrated his birthday). Gradually, however, the celebration of Christmas has become popular among the people and it can be assumed that the rites of its celebration, and even the dates were copied from the Roman Saturnalia.



Saturnalia, a Roman pagan festival of the winter solstice . A poet I century AD Guy Valerio Catullo Saturnalia described as a "best time": the rules of appearance (dress code) have been relaxed, exchanged small gifts such as dolls, candles and birds in cages.

In Saturnalia saw a permutation of social roles. The rich, as expected, had to pay the monthly rent for those who can not afford it, gentlemen and slaves to trade clothes. Household throwing dice to determine who will be the temporary king of the Saturnalia (he is Lord of Disorder, or Bean King), who rules? In period? From December 25 until January 6. Christmas subsequently began to celebrate in the same time period.



Feast of Beans King - is a common practice in Flanders, 17th century, secular way to celebrate the Epiphany Catholic. Tables are on 6 January, at night, when all the religious rituals have been met and the people returned from church. But Bob, of course, mix the dough the day before.?



Bob symbolized the guiding star that led the Magi to Bethlehem to worship the Christ Child. ? The one who got it bob, proclaimed? bean king?. On a sham put on the crown and he chose you? Queen? and appointed? state court? - From the minister to the jester.? Participants were required to feast unquestioningly obey? King? and? queen? and when?

Sootechestvenninki Jordaens feasted on every occasion: for religious holidays and when entering the shop wizard, on the occasion of choice in the city or town council to nominate Dean guild, not to mention weddings, christenings and funerals. Annual banquet Guild St. Luke, which united painters in 1300 florins treated, while the entire income of 1,800-2,000 florins. Spanish governors of Flanders was not clear this is hilarious revelry and extravagance. At the beginning of the century, Albert and Isabella, the rulers tried to fight the excesses of the Flemish townspeople. Their decision to invite the guests prohibit more than 32 pairs and more than two feast days, so what? Assembly 500 and 600 people at the wedding, except that lead to the impoverishment and ruin, will inevitably lead to quarrels and fights?. Against the background of this situation becomes clear why the noisy? Revelry? Jordaens had such success. They most fully reflected the nature of the Flemish people - straight and simple, sometimes gruff, but always cheerful, full of boundless energy.

Feast with legumes was arranged by King everywhere, it was extremely popular among the common people, and of noble burghers. A people's game in the King and his entourage was, according to historians, a good safety valve for discontent out existing order of things.



For this reason, first reflecting people's favorite story in the middle of the 30s, Jordaens was regularly getting orders to play it again and again. He wrote about ten Bean Kings - huge canvases, each about 2-4 (!) Feet on the long side, complex color and light, with lively multi-figure compositions.

Interestingly, in all their after-dinner scenes as the central characters Jordaens depicts their loved ones. The artist was a pupil and later son-in-the Antwerp master painting of Adam van Noort - and that, as a rule, and was captured in the central figure of the bean king. Woman with child at the side - usually his daughter, his wife Elizabeth Jordaens, and the most active male counterparts bean King in the foreground - the artist himself.

At the same story Jordaens never repeated in the song and always introduces a variety of shapes the environment. It is interesting to consider how he moves his bean king - the king in the center, the King on the right, the king left. And not always even the king and the main figure. For example, the picture in 1640, another set on Jordaens, this time lediz fest. In the center of the circle of light - the ladies, Bean King - left in the shade:

And, as always, children and pets are active joyfully for adults. Obviously, the educational point of 17th century Flemish not worried especially their gay buster - the equivalent of today's family watching a movie. However, this is not strictly yordansovskoe, children - adults participating peers - quite in the tradition of European painting. All paintings are always full of bacchanalian children and angels.

Interestingly, the artist, prodemonstrirovashy in his? Bean Kings? a love of life-with-overlap, as an adult moved to Calvinism, the most radical and rigorous in the sense of bodily pleasure and entertainment wing of Protestantism. And a picture of his youth, where he lights a household so, too, can not be regarded as a direct replica of the real-life artist's family. But art - this is another area of ​​play and freedom, where even the most stringent in the life of the author can afford to imagine anything.
