Your prompt
[DISH] painted in the style of a Dutch Golden Age or Italian Renaissance still life, hyperrealistic oil painting aesthetic with dramatic chiaroscuro lighting. Hero dish at center on a dark velvet or stone surface, surrounded by its ingredients arranged in a baroque composition. Single dramatic light source from upper left illuminating every texture with painterly depth: glistening proteins, translucent sauces, jewel-bright vegetables, crusty bread, scattered herbs. Each ingredient labeled with a small elegant gold cartouche, ornate bordered label in copperplate: "[INGREDIENT] [poetic Latin or French descriptor]". Dish name in ornate gilt typography at top: "[DISH NAME]". Subtitle: "[TAGLINE]". Mood: Caravaggio meets Rembrandt meets the world's most craveable food photograph. Deep rich shadows, jewel-tone colors, extraordinary museum-quality, craveable.

When to use it
Use when a restaurant or food brand wants a painterly, museum-poster treatment of one dish instead of a photograph.
How to get the best result
- Choose the dish first; the spread of proteins, sauces, bread and herbs derives from it, so a composed dish paints best.
- Set the dish name to the same dish; it is lettered in gilt type at the top while the dish control governs the painting.
- Give the ingredient label a single noun; the prompt adds a poetic Latin or French descriptor after it in the cartouche.
Watch-outs
- Cartouches, gilt title and subtitle are ornate lettering, Nano Banana's weak spot; keep the tagline short, check labels.
