Gardiens des arbres anciens au coucher du soleil

Create an epic romantic fantasy landscape painting in the style of a 19th-century Hudson River School oil masterpiece. The scene shows an ancient enchanted forest at the edge of a mountain valley at {argument name="time of day" default="golden sunset"}. On the left foreground, depict three colossal old oak trees with deeply textured bark, twisted roots, moss, ivy, and autumn foliage; the foremost tree has a solemn humanoid face naturally formed in the trunk, with heavy brow, long nose, carved eyes, and a beard-like cascade of bark, making it feel like a wise forest guardian. The ground is rugged with rocks, roots, ferns, red-brown undergrowth, and a narrow dirt path curving into shadow. Across the lower foreground and middle ground, a wild river rushes over dark boulders in foaming cascades, with mist rising from the rapids. Beyond the water, open into a luminous alpine lake reflecting the sky, framed by evergreen forests, distant tiny trees, and layered blue-gray mountains. On the right, towering jagged peaks catch warm orange light, while cooler shadows fall into the valley. The sky is dramatic and radiant, filled with glowing peach, amber, lavender, and smoky blue clouds around the low sun. Use {argument name="mood" default="majestic, ancient, and mystical"} atmosphere, highly detailed natural textures, painterly brushwork, cinematic depth, volumetric light rays, soft mist, warm highlights, cool distant haze, grand scale, and a balanced composition with the tree guardians dominating the left and the glowing valley opening to the right. No modern objects, no people, no buildings, no text.
