Prompt: Copperplate engraving — a portrait of a beautiful noblewoman in the style of Claude Mellan, executed using the method of a single continuous spiral line, is one of the most striking examples of technical virtuosity in the history of 17th-century Western European art.
The Essence of the "Cordon Unique" Technique
The artist created the portrait using a single spiral line of varying thickness.
The Principle of Image Formation: As a rule, the spiral begins at the tip of the nose or in the center of the composition and radiates outward. Light and shadow (volume modeling) are created exclusively by varying the pressure on the burin (graver). As the line thickens, it covers more area on the paper, creating an effect of deep shadow. When it becomes thinner, the paper appears brighter.
Visual Effect: From a distance, such an engraving looks like a complete, realistic portrait with smooth transitions of light and shade. However, upon closer inspection, the viewer sees a rigorous mathematical and geometric structure — an infinite thread that forms the face, hair, and background.
Dream Level: is increased each time when you "Go Deeper" into the dream. Each new level is harder to achieve and
takes more iterations than the one before.
Rare Deep Dream: is any dream which went deeper than level 6.
