Chagall Modern Dream Window (Style-Only, Image-Conditioned)
Style register: Marc Chagall's modern stained-glass windows, painterly cobalt fields, floating color planes, and expressive lead drawing.

The prompt
Re-render this image as a modern painterly stained-glass window in the register of Marc Chagall's postwar commissions. Keep the source's subject, position, and gestures intact, letting color drift across the existing forms rather than adding unrelated floating figures or props. Lay down broad translucent fields of cobalt, violet, rose, and citrus yellow as irregular hand-cut panes. Join them with bold black lead lines that sometimes trace the subject and sometimes bend gently through the surrounding space like a second, slower drawing. Brush soft grisaille shadows on the reverse of select pieces, then scratch back a few broad highlights before firing. Let neighboring blue pieces differ in intensity and thickness so backlight makes them breathe unevenly. Use a small number of broad curved joints and large clear silhouettes, not a blizzard of confetti fragments. Existing background shapes may carry loose washes of warm color, but the source's original depth and visual hierarchy should remain legible through the glass. Where a pane crosses a face or an important object, keep the outline steady and the fired paint sparse. Let seams be handmade, slightly wandering, with solder visibly pooling at intersections. Mood: a remembered scene translated into colored daylight, tender but not sugary. 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 dreamlike pane still needs joints. Modern color can drift freely only because the lead grid provides enough resistance to keep the memory visible.
Tuning knobs
- Color drift: `blue with rose currents` (signature) vs `violet with amber` vs `blue with pale yellow`
- Lead drawing: `loose bold curves` (signature) vs `mostly subject contours` vs `wide irregular loops`
- Grisaille: `soft reverse shadows` (signature) vs `bare color panes` vs `strong painted contours`
- Backlight: `uneven translucent glow` (signature) vs `dim chapel light` vs `bright midday light`
