Art style: Cinematic Neo-Noir. A lavish Roman banquet table shot from a low three-quarter angle, groaning under bronze platters piled with exotic dishes — a whole roasted pink flamingo with splayed feathers as centerpiece, dishes of pale organ meats, silver spoons and wine amphorae. Reclining guests blurred in the warm background. Rich candelabra and oil-lamp light bathes everything in golden warmth with deep shadows. Mood is overwhelming, decadent, almost nauseating in its excess. Palette of olive-green drapery, amber gold, flamingo pink, and dark red wine. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Cinematic Neo-Noir" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Cinematic Neo-Noir". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Cinematic Neo-Noir" idiom, not in any other medium. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Apicius: A Roman patrician man in his early fifties, well-fed and heavyset with a broad, fleshy face, a strong Roman nose, and heavy-lidded, calculating dark eyes that gleam with appetite. Close-cropped greying curls swept forward in the Roman style, clean-shaven with a faint double chin. He wears a deep olive-green toned draped tunic with a subtle woven border, a heavy signet ring on one thick finger. His expression is one of amused, aristocratic superiority, lips curled in a faint knowing smile. Warm oil-lamp light catches the sheen of his oiled skin. Background of a dim Roman villa dining hall with faded frescoes. Brand guidelines: Brand color palette: #525e3b. Use these colors prominently in the composition.
