Between 1880 and 1917, the Ensor family lived on the corner of Vlaanderenstraat and Van Iseghemlaan in Ostend. It was here that Ensor created his most important works. From his studio, which was located under the tiled roof, he made various paintings, drawings and prints of the city. In 1889, for example, he depicted the Van Iseghemlaan and a year later the Vlaanderenstraat. In this last etching, entitled "The Music in the rue de Flandre, Ostend", he shows, again from a bird's eye view, the festive passage of a band in the street. The depiction is possibly based on the annual festivities around the so-called sea-wallowing in Ostend.
