Observations

Across all four renders, recognizable people and situations are built with visible, energetic paint strokes and strongly modeled faces, clothing, and scenery. The restrained blue, ochre, brown, and rust palette, rough canvas texture, and varied cinematic cropping give the images the feel of expressive historical narrative paintings.

Earlier versions

Same code, different picture. Midjourney changed how it reads SREF codes after V6.1, so V8.2 turns this code into a new style. The old one still works: add  or .
