Historically grounded illustration of Pope Urban II speaking at the Council of Clermont in 1095, visually aligned with a restrained, documentary-style medieval aesthetic. The setting is late 11th-century Romanesque France. The pope stands on low stone church steps outside a modest Romanesque church facade, not on a theatrical stage. He wears simple 11th-century papal vestments with a modest Romanesque mitre, natural fabrics, muted tones, no Renaissance ornamentation. The crowd is dense but irregular — clergy, knights, and townspeople in realistic medieval clothing, subdued earth tones. No cinematic spotlighting, no epic fantasy atmosphere. Overcast late-autumn sky, cool natural light, serious historical tone. Composition and color palette should match a sober medieval manuscript-inspired realism. 16:9 landscape.
