The first two stick close to the reference: smooth flesh, hard edges where the drapery folds, straw scattered over the platform boards. The last one drops the academic finish and goes loose, with the columns melting into grey and the kneeling woman almost dissolving into the mourners behind her. Her blindfold is still readable, the axe is not. The reference painting is linked at the bottom if you want to check the details yourself.

AI Model: SeeDream 5.0 Pro

Prompt: Paul Delaroche + Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, where Delaroche's meticulous glazing creates smooth fabric sheens through successive transparent layers, and Ingres's precise line work produces defined form boundaries via controlled brush drawing. The fusion manifests as highly polished surfaces, detailed texture rendering and soft value transitions, transforming any subject through academic finish. A blindfolded young woman in a white gown kneeling at a wooden chopping block, with an executioner holding an axe, an elderly man in black robes leaning over her, and several mourning women in period clothing nearby. Wide shot at eye level, the central blindfolded woman seated on a cushion with one hand extended toward the block, the executioner standing to the right, the elderly man bent close beside her, and other women arranged to the left in poses of distress, with foreground straw and layered depth across the platform. Scene set in a stone interior chamber with columns and arched doorways, featuring a raised platform, wooden block with ring, and scattered straw on the floor.

OpenAI isnt shy about stealing images from artists. Compare it to the Reference Image above - then think about how GPT trains their models. Note this is : Text2Image

If i notified you here, and you dont want me to do so - let me know and I will gladly remove you from my notify lists!

I recognize #4... I've seen it in the National Gallery in London, by Paul Delaroche... it's a really good likeness of it

racersdelighted

The fourth one is not that different from the original, which means OpenAI doesn't train their models correctly.

i agree. Ive had it do something similar twice now. Just a prompt and ... boom. Out pops the original.
