I pulled a reference painting and tried to get each model to hit it with the same prompt. Watch how the skin tones and the light on the collar shift between versions. Also look at the background, the hills and the horse rider are way clearer in some models and nearly vanish in others. The reference is linked at the bottom of the post. Models, in order: 1. seedream-5.0-pro 2. nano-banana-2-lite 3. gpt-image-2 4. grok-imagine-image-2 5. muse-image-1.0 6. flux-2-pro Reference image: https://lauramorelli.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/6-Vittore_Carpaccio_Portrait-of-Venetian-Nobleman-Norton-Simon-Museum.jpg

AI Model: seedream-5.0-pro
Prompt: Jan van Eyck + Piero della Francesca, where layered oil glazing creates luminous translucent surfaces through successive thin applications, and geometric form modeling produces solid volumes via measured light planes. The fusion manifests as fine texture detail, smooth tonal transitions, and atmospheric background depth, transforming any subject through precise surface handling. A man with long brown hair, light skin and blue eyes, wearing a black cap and a dark blue doublet with white collar and sleeve linings. Close-up at eye level, the man shown from the chest up, body turned three-quarters away to the left with head facing left and gaze directed off to the left. Scene set in an open landscape during daytime, featuring distant buildings, hills, trees and a small figure on horseback.
