A melancholic oil painting in surreal Victorian cosmic romanticism, designed as a celestial poster. At the top of the image, include the title “The Clockmaker’s Prayer” in ornate serif lettering, framed with fine mechanical and astronomical scrollwork — gears entwined with constellations. Beneath it, in soft italic script, add the epigraph: “He knew the hours by heart, but not how to stop them.” The scene unfolds in a narrow, high-ceilinged tower suspended alone in space. Its walls are lined with ticking brass clocks — some shattered, others melted, others still running. Dust drifts through golden shafts of starlight from high stained-glass windows depicting zodiac signs and eclipses. At a long wooden workbench sits an elderly man — the Clockmaker. He wears a dark waistcoat and an apron dusted with gold filings. His hands are aged, careful, and trembling as he works on a tiny celestial timepiece. All around him float broken gears, constellations, faded journals, hourglasses with stardust trickling in reverse. Behind him, through a great arched window, a faded nebula curls like smoke. A single large clock above his head is missing its hands. On the windowsill, a small glass dome contains a tiny model of Earth, softly glowing. The Clockmaker looks toward it with reverence, as if remembering more than just time. The mood is contemplative, quiet, and human — a final attempt to understand what was never meant to be measured. Style: oil painting, Victorian meets cosmic surrealism, dark romantic lighting, painterly brushstrokes, gritty tone, rich fine detail. Color palette: antique brass, soft navy, pale gold, stardust white, ink-black.
A digital illustration depicts "The Clockmaker's Prayer" with an old man meticulously working on a clock mechanism at a wooden table in a dimly lit, richly decorated workshop. Above the scene, the title "The Clockmaker's Prayer" is written in ornate gold letters, with the subtitle "He knew the hours by sight, but saw how to stop them." below it. The workshop walls are adorned with numerous vintage clocks and gears ranging in size, all in varying states of disrepair. A large ornate clock with Roman numerals dominates the upper center wall.
A grand arched window on the right side of the image offers a breathtaking view of a swirling galaxy and a starry cosmos, visually linking the micro-world of clockmaking with the vastness of the universe. Star constellations are subtly depicted across the dark walls, connecting the clocks with celestial elements.
On the old man's workbench, beside his current project, are various tools, intricate gears, and small metallic components. To the right of the old man sits a glass dome encasing a glowing miniature globe, suggesting a connection to global time or cosmic influence. An hourglass filled with golden sand, appearing to be actively in motion, stands nearby. From the Serie Star-Witness by Isobel Blundell
Note: If you use the prompt, the generator do mistake in the writting. The epigraph is: He knew the hours by heart, but sees how to stop them.
