Style
Baroque Noir.
Caravaggio, but make it a hoodie.
Deep shadow, one dramatic light source, ornate detail. Baroque Noir borrows from chiaroscuro painting and gothic architecture. It is the moodiest filter we have and the one that makes a black-and-gold print feel earned.
How to prompt it
- Give it one light source: a candle, a window, a lantern.
- Ornate nouns: velvet, gilt frame, marble, a crown, a raven.
- Portraits work. Try “a crow wearing a ruff collar”.
Prompts to steal
- “a raven on a gilt frame, lit by a single candle”
- “a still life of pomegranates and a silver knife in deep shadow”
- “a cathedral interior at midnight, one shaft of light”
- “a greyhound in a velvet cloak, chiaroscuro”
