How to use this prompt
The rose window is the focal point and "twelve radiating stone tracery spokes" is the count that reads as a real Gothic wheel (Notre-Dame, Chartres); leave the number vague and the model returns a generic porthole. Three pointed-arch portals below is the canonical west-front layout — a single door reads Romanesque, three is Gothic. The "gallery of kings" horizontal band is the seam that ties the portals to the rose window visually; skip it and the facade splits into two unrelated halves. "Warm golden late-afternoon light" is the lighting that flatters limestone tracery; midday blue flattens the carved depth. Elevation view, no passersby — this is an architectural study, not a tourism photo.
Variations to try
- Reframe the rose window close-up to fill the frame, the tracery detail becoming the subject
- Add scaffolding on one tower for a restoration-in-progress variant with real-world texture
