What is Classical Luminance SREF style

This style perfectly captures the aesthetic hallmarks of historical European painting, characterized by deep shadows, dramatic chiaroscuro lighting, and highly rendered textures, evident in the sublime landscapes and detailed portraits. When using this in **Midjourney**, the **prompt** should emphasize rich pigments, atmospheric depth, and adherence to classical composition to achieve a timeless, museum-quality appearance. It is ideal for generating highly emotive and technically proficient figurative works or traditional still lifes, making it a popular **style** for realistic yet atmospheric imagery.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a Midjourney Style Reference (--sref)?

A Style Reference, or SREF, is a powerful feature that lets you use the aesthetic of a reference image to influence the style of your generations. Our library provides the direct SREF code for thousands of styles.

How do I understand and use the Aspect Ratio (--ar) parameter?

The --ar parameter controls the aspect ratio of your image. For example, --ar 16:9 creates a widescreen image. Our guide provides a full list of supported ratios.

Why is my SREF code not working?

Ensure you are using a compatible Midjourney version (v6 or newer) and check for typos. Sometimes, strong keywords in your prompt can override the style; try reducing the style weight (e.g., --sw 250).

Can I use this SREF code with a Character Reference (--cref)?
