Knight on a Spectral Steed in Gothic Ruins

Prompt
A knight, draped in a tattered cloak, rides a spectral steed through a landscape shrouded in gothic horror mist. The knight carries a lantern that casts an unnatural, flickering light, revealing glimpses of forgotten stories in the decaying ruins they pass. The style combines dark fantasy concept art with a heavy dose of chiaroscuro lighting, reminiscent of Caravaggio's dramatic shadows and the atmospheric dread found in the works of Zdzisław Beksiński.
