Stable Diffusion Prompt:
“A beautiful, striking, and award-winning oil painting in the style of a brilliant but underrated Brazillian artist of the Brazilian city’s Arpoador Beach. Few life size bronze statues will be more popular among the residents of Rio de Janeiro than the one that has just been erected to honor the singer-composer who helped to immortalize the Brazilian city’s Arpoador Beach. That person is, of course, Rio native and bossa nova pioneer Antonio Carlos Tom Jobim, whose song The Girl from Ipanema became one of the most recorded of all time.”
