Art style: Cinematic Digital Realism.
A ground-level wide shot of the pyroclastic surge slamming into and engulfing the streets of Herculaneum. A towering, superheated cloud of glowing gas and ash swallows elegant marble villas, columns, and paved roads in an instant, blotting out everything. The leading edge of the cloud glows orange-hot as it overwhelms the town. Apocalyptic, chaotic atmosphere with debris flying. Harsh ember glow within suffocating darkness. Dominant palette of blistering orange, black, ash gray, and searing white-hot highlights.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Cinematic Digital Realism" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Cinematic Digital Realism". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Cinematic Digital Realism" idiom, not in any other medium.
