          You can't use Jinja in a static CSS file. You'd need to change the URL reference to an absolute URL or place that CSS rule in your actual Jinja template.

            Try this:
            background-image: url("bg.jpeg");



            You will have to specify the path of the image file. In your design the css and jpeg are inside same folder, hence just mention the image name inside url().



            Use jinja for html templates.



            See here for how to specify path How to give the background-image path in CSS?
