About the piece

Painted in 1891, James Ensor’s 'Music in the Vlaanderenstraat' offers a striking bird's-eye view of a military procession. The composition is defined by the steep perspective of the Flemish architecture and the dense, rhythmic pattern of the uniformed musicians and the surrounding crowd below.
