Beautiful and very detailed work by this Belgian artist.
It shows a very nice view of one of the most beautiful streets in the city center of Bruges.
The Blinde-Ezelstraat is a picturesque street in the historic centre of Bruges, connecting the Burg with the Vismarkt. The street runs between the town hall and the Civiele Griffie and is characterised by a narrow passage with historic architecture.

The name "Blinde Ezel" (Blind Donkey) is derived from an inn that was established in this street in 1490. According to toponymist Karel De Flou, "blind donkey" refers to the custom of brewers to blindfold donkeys when they entered the treadmill of the malthouse, to prevent them from becoming dizzy.
Another explanation for the name is that the street is named after the inn 'De Blinde Ezel' that used to be located there.
Robert Quintyn was a Belgian artist, born in 1916 in Knokke. He was active as a painter, draftsman and graphic artist and was known for his seascapes, harbour views (particularly of Zeebrugge), still lifes, forest views and figure pieces.
Between 1965 and 1970 Quintyn exhibited with the group "Les Arts and Europe" in Brussels. In 1976 his work "People on the Beach" was auctioned at Zaal Campo in Antwerp. His name is mentioned in reference works such as "Bas I" and "Two Centuries Signatures of Belgian Artists".
