<h1 id="orest-kiprensky-the-romantic-soul-of-the-russian-portrait-or-lora-(krea2-turbo)">Orest Kiprensky — The Romantic Soul of the Russian Portrait | LoRA (Krea2 Turbo)</h1>A portrait LoRA trained on the manner of Orest Kiprensky (1782–1836), the father of Russian Romantic portraiture. The model reproduces his luminous sfumato, deep velvet darkness behind the sitter, warm golden-brown glow on skin, and that unmistakable intelligent, living gaze — the look of the Pushkin era rendered in oil.Trained and tested on Krea2 Turbo.<hr /><h2 id="about-the-artist">About the Artist</h2><ul><li>Orest Adamovich Kiprensky (1782–1836) — leading Russian portraitist of the Romantic era, academician of the Imperial Academy of Arts.</li><li>Created the canonical image of the Golden Age: portraits of Alexander Pushkin (1827), Denis Davydov, the Shishmarev sisters, Olenina, self-portraits.</li><li>Bridged strict Academic drawing and Romantic freedom: perfect likeness plus psychological depth.</li><li>Worked in oil on canvas; his sitters emerge from darkness like candlelit apparitions.</li><li>Celebrated by contemporaries as "the Russian Van Dyck" for his aristocratic elegance of brush.</li></ul><h2 id="the-manner">The Manner</h2><ul><li>Sfumato and chiaroscuro: soft smoky transitions, sitter lit against a deep dark-brown or olive-black void.</li><li>Luminous skin: warm ivory-golden flesh tones with rosy cheeks, painted in thin glowing glazes.</li><li>The living eye: large, moist, reflective eyes carrying thought and feeling — the center of every portrait.</li><li>Palette: golden browns, olive blacks, amber highlights, touches of crimson, pearl-grey and emerald in fabrics.</li><li>Fabrics: silk sheen, velvet depth, lace transparency, military satin and gold embroidery rendered with bravura brushwork.</li><li>Romantic styling: empire-waist gowns, cashmere shawls, high collars, cravats, Hussar uniforms, poet's loose curls.</li><li>Composition: bust or three-quarter turn, head slightly tilted, soft edge-light tracing the silhouette.</li><li>Mood: noble melancholy, quiet dignity, inner fire behind calm features.</li></ul><h2 id="tested-generation-settings">Tested Generation Settings</h2>ParameterValueBase modelKrea2 TurboVAEqwen_image_vaeText encoderqwen3vl_4b_fp8_scaledSteps8SamplerEuler aSchedule typeBong TangentCFG scale1Resolution1024×1536 (vertical bust/three-quarter)LoRA weight0.9–1.0 (epoch 20 — full training)Negative prompt<code>cartoon, anime, photo, photograph, 3d render, plastic skin, flat lighting, bright white background, modern clothing, deformed, ugly, blurry, low quality</code><h2 id="trigger-words">Trigger Words</h2><code>Kiprensky style</code>, <code>romantic oil portrait</code>, <code>golden-age portraiture</code>, <code>sfumato</code>, <code>chiaroscuro</code>, <code>oil on canvas</code>Boosters: <code>luminous skin glazes, deep dark background, living reflective eyes, silk and velvet textures, noble melancholy, warm amber glow</code><h2 id="versions">Versions</h2>Epoch 20 (current) — full training; stable at weight 0.9–1.0.<h2 id="rights-and-ethics">Rights &amp; Ethics</h2>Orest Kiprensky died in 1836 — all his paintings are in the public domain.
