Gothic Rose Window Stained Glass Portrait Forge

Turn anything into a stained glass masterpiece — the kind you'd find in a 13th-century cathedral, backlit by morning sun, telling a story in colored light.

The Prompt

Create a [WINDOW TYPE] stained glass window depicting [SUBJECT]. The glass is rendered in the style of [ERA/INFLUENCE], with visible lead came lines (dark metal strips between glass pieces), each glass section showing realistic translucency and color variation. Warm golden light streams through from behind, casting faint colored light patterns. The composition follows [GEOMETRY].

Window Type:

• Rose Window (circular, radiating from center, intricate geometric tracery)
• Lancet Window (tall, narrow, pointed arch — classic single-panel narrative)
• Triptych (three panels side by side, central panel larger)
• Clerestory Strip (wide horizontal panel, continuous narrative left-to-right)
• Modern Dalle de Verre (thick glass chunks in concrete/epoxy, abstract, bold)

Subject (anything works):

• A portrait of [PERSON/CHARACTER] — face rendered in glass segments
• A pet portrait — your cat/dog immortalized in cathedral style
• A city skyline at golden hour
• A scene from mythology, folklore, or fiction
• An abstract concept (love, entropy, migration, the internet)
• A botanical study — single flower or tree in full anatomical detail
• A cosmic scene — nebula, planets, or the night sky in glass

Era / Influence:

• High Gothic (Chartres, Sainte-Chapelle — deep blues, reds, gold, intricate tracery)
• Art Nouveau (Tiffany — flowing organic lines, opalescent glass, nature motifs)
• Art Deco (geometric, bold, sunburst patterns, amber and jade tones)
• Romanesque (simpler, fewer pieces, earth tones, thick lead lines)
• Contemporary (Gerhard Richter's Cologne window — pixel-like, abstract color grid)

Geometry:

• Sacred geometry (vesica piscis, flower of life, Fibonacci spirals)
• Radial symmetry (everything emanates from center)
• Narrative flow (left-to-right story, like a comic strip in glass)
• Asymmetric organic (Art Nouveau flowing curves, no rigid grid)
• Grid-based (regular rectangular panes, Mondrian-meets-medieval)

Glass Details:

• Visible imperfections: tiny air bubbles, slight color inconsistencies within panes
• Textured glass varieties: cathedral (wavy), hammered (dimpled), streaky (swirled color)
• Lead cames rendered as dark grey-black metal strips, slightly raised
• Light behavior: brighter where glass is thinner, deeper color where thicker
• Border: ornamental border frame with repeating motif

Output

A single stunning image that looks like a photograph taken inside a cathedral, looking up at the window with warm backlight flooding through. The subject should be immediately recognizable despite being abstracted into glass segments.
