Rose Window Radial Geometry (Style-Only, Image-Conditioned)
Style register: High Gothic rose-window tracery, bold radial spokes, petal compartments, and daylight distributed through stained glass.

The prompt
Re-render this image as a High Gothic rose-window composition made of stained glass and stone tracery. Preserve the source's subject at its existing position and scale; translate its major contours into broad colored glass compartments instead of replacing it with a generic mandala. Let the leading lines radiate around the subject's visual center where possible, then intersect concentric rings of large petal and quatrefoil shapes. Give every division a bold charcoal lead seam and give the principal radial divisions a wider stone-gray rib, so the structure survives at 1024 pixels. Use lapis blue, oxblood red, warm gold, and small islands of clear pale glass, each hue uneven from hand-blown thickness. Set an occasional bubble or wavering striation within a pane, but keep the compartments large enough to be unmistakable. Light shines through from behind, creating jewel-like color rather than glossy reflections on top. The outer circle can be implied by cropped arcs when the source has a rectangular frame; never crop out or relocate the source subject to complete the ornament. Rhythm should feel measured and expansive, like a clock made of light. Keep any painted detail to a few iron-oxide gestures and let radial lead do the work. Leave a calm, uncluttered band of negative space along the top or bottom edge where a title could sit. Strictly no on-canvas text, no legible lettering, no signature, no watermark, no logos. Preserve the subject, pose, and composition of the source image exactly, change only the medium and rendering. Aspect ratio matches source.
What it is doing
A rose window organizes many unequal panes around one shared center. Its order is visible because joints are never concealed; structure becomes the image's social logic.
Tuning knobs
- Tracery: `broad radial spokes` (signature) vs `dense petals` vs `open concentric rings`
- Glass palette: `lapis red gold` (signature) vs `cool blue silver` vs `amber ruby ivory`
- Outer ring: `cropped arcs` (signature) vs `complete implied circle` vs `minimal perimeter`
- Glass defects: `subtle blown bubbles` (signature) vs `wavy striations` vs `nearly smooth panes`
