Diorama Light Change
The Diorama, opened in Paris in 1822 by Louis Daguerre and Charles Bouton, showed huge translucent paintings. Shifting light made a scene change from day to night or calm to storm before seated audiences.

Why it happens
A painting on semi-transparent cloth is lit from the front and the back, and colored filters and shutters alter the balance, so different painted layers appear and fade.

Image-to-video prompt“Animate this image as a Diorama stage painting: the scene looks like a huge translucent canvas whose lighting shifts slowly from warm daylight to deep blue dusk, with painted windows and lamps glowing from behind. Soft, theatrical glow, subtle cloth texture, fixed camera, about 6 seconds, smooth continuous fade.”
