Dying Composer Final Masterpiece

A cinematic dark historical illustration of an elderly composer writing sheet music in bed, surrounded by grief, madness, and musical symbolism.

Prompt
Create a dark cinematic historical photomontage about an 84-year-old dying composer writing his final masterpiece from a sickbed. Use a wide 16:9 canvas with painterly realism, chiaroscuro lighting, distressed textures, and a tragic romantic-classical music mood. Center the scene on an elderly white-haired man in a dark robe, seated or propped in bed, hunched over illuminated parchment sheet music, writing notes with a pen; his wrinkled face is sorrowful and focused, lit by a warm spotlight from above/front. Surround him with exactly 2 secondary figures: on the left, a shadowy insane husband-like man in a black suit with wild curly hair, clutching his head in anguish, partially obscured by red-black smoke and torn musical manuscript; on the right, a grieving middle-aged mother in profile, hands clasped near her mouth, looking down toward a cracked abyss-like stone path fading into mist. Add exactly 4 prominent visual motifs: scattered manuscript pages in the foreground, flowing golden musical staves and notes sweeping across the composition, blood-red ink/smoke splashes on the left and upper background, and a deep jagged crack splitting the ground on the right. The background should suggest an old bedroom with rumpled white sheets and worn walls, blending into abstract darkness. Color palette: near-black shadows, sepia parchment, warm candlelit gold, dirty gray stone, and dramatic crimson red. No readable modern text, no captions, no logos, no clean digital UI; keep it gritty, emotional, operatic, and high-detail like a dramatic album-cover or magazine feature illustration.
