The prompt

Re-render this image as a backlit stained-glass panel whose colored light spills across pale stone. Render the source subject within its original boundaries as hand-cut panes of cobalt, amber, ruby, and milky clear glass, preserving its contours with wide black lead lines. Let the existing light direction determine where transmitted color falls; do not invent a new figure, change a pose, or move the focal point to make room for a window. Suggest limestone only at existing outer margins or broad background surfaces, and carry the pane colors onto it as diffuse patches of light. Their outlines should soften with distance while the leaded subject stays sharp. Darker shadows from the lead grid can cross those colored pools, showing that illumination passed through a physical assembly. The glass has hand-blown waviness and subtle differences in thickness, but large panes and heavy joints dominate the first read. Let the brightest transmitted color occur at the edge of an existing subject shape, then fade over the stone's grain and shallow tool marks. Treat projected light as a second material, not a glowing halo applied to the image. The mood is quiet and spatial, a meeting of rigid seam and temporary color. 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

The colored projection outlives the border of the window. A material boundary can shape an experience without containing where that experience ends.
