Flex-box wraps two windows when scaling a browser window

Question

We have four children in one parent. And I want to make the effect that you see in the picture.

<article class="parent">
<figure class="child">
    <img src="img/example.jpg" alt="" />
    <figcaption">
        <p>description</p>
    </figcaption>
</figure>
<figure class="child">
    <img src="img/example.jpg" alt="" />
    <figcaption">
        <p>description</p>
    </figcaption>
</figure>
<figure class="child">
    <img src="img/example.jpg" alt="" />
    <figcaption">
        <p>description</p>
    </figcaption>
</figure>
<figure class="child">
    <img src="img/example.jpg" alt="" />
    <figcaption">
        <p>description</p>
    </figcaption>
</figure>
</article>

The child has one constant parameter width: 300 pixels;

But we cannot edit html (+ div).

We can only use CSS for this thing. Is it possible?

My English is bad:)

Answer 1

Maybe something like this? https://codepen.io/jnnkm/pen/jVwZrX

.parent {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: row;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
  width: 800px;
}

@media only screen and (min-device-width: 1000px)  {

  .parent {
    width: initial; 
  }
}
