# Academic Art (アカデミック美術) — image generation prompt
# IndexStyle No.618 — https://indexstyle.org/styles/academic-art
# Style descriptors only. This prompt names no artist, studio, brand or work.

Produce four original images in the visual language of Academic Art, a style from Figurative Painting, 17th–late 19th century.

## What to make

Make the kind of thing this style exists for: giving a figure institutional authority, finish and historical scale, or controlling ideal bodies and legible narrative through drawing rather than visible brushwork. Choose one subject and hold it across all four images.

## What has to be visible

- Smooth surfaces and clear contours hiding the stroke
- Anatomy and pose idealized from classical sculpture
- History, scripture and myth placed atop a hierarchy of genres
- Multi-figure scenes organized like a stage and highly finished

Someone who knows this style should be able to point at each of these in the finished image.

## How to build it

- Layout and structure: Organize groups in triangles and arcs, returning the eye to the protagonist's face and gesture through staged depth
- Type and lettering: Use a classical serif and centered hierarchy for title, artist and institution
- Material and surface: Develop smooth gradation over drawing, hiding strokes while distinguishing skin, textile and metal
- Colour: #D5B98B carries the ground, #A56B4D is the colour the style is remembered by, #3B2A27 holds text and outlines. Read off real works, so treat them as a direction rather than a fixed palette.
- What it should feel like: luxury, trust, technique

## What goes wrong

This is not a synonym for technically accomplished realism. Academic training, genre hierarchy, classical norms and Salon finish must be joined.

## Across the four

Keep every cue above present in all four. Vary the framing, the scale and the arrangement so the set shows the range this style covers rather than four versions of one picture.

## Constraints

- Do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work.
- Do not reproduce the composition of an existing work.
- Produce original compositions in the general period language described above.
