I am trying to set the background image of a div but nothing is working, is there a particular I have to do it?

this is the syntax I used: background-image: url(“[https://www.blades.co.uk/store/uc3264-sword-of-bard-the-bowman-full-1.jpg](https://www.blades.co.uk/store/uc3264-sword-of-bard-the-bowman-full-1.jpg)”);
