Is this what you want?

How I found the bug

First thing I did, is going to devtools (I suggest you to do it also for debugging) and I saw this warning:

So with some changes I found the solution, here details below:

The issue seems to happen from the wrap of each section in a div.

To properly implement CSS grid, the relevant code should be placed in .grid-main div {}.

This selector ensures that the parent has display: grid,

as previously, the wrapped elements were contained within a block element.

However, I have found a simpler solution to your problem.

By removing the div that encloses the first element with the class="prominant" the issue can be resolved.

Please note that I opted for this approach since the gray background is unnecessary given that the main is already brown.

TLDR:

so html will be like this:

<div class="grid-main">
  <main class="prominant">...</main> <!-- NOT wrapped by <div> -->
  
  <div>
    <section>...</section>
  </div>
  
  <div>
    <article>...</article>
  </div>
  
  <div>
    <nav>...</nav>
  </div>
  
  <div>
    <footer>...</footer>
  </div>
</div>

and the css like this:

/*
.grid-main div .prominant {
  background-color: rgb(63, 11, 11);
  grid-row-start: span 2;
}
*/

.grid-main .prominant {
  background-color: rgb(63, 11, 11);
  grid-row-start: span 2;
}

.grid-main div {
  background-color: rgb(65, 82, 82);
  border: 10px;
}

complete code:

body {
  font-size: 20px;
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0 auto;
  font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
  background-color: rgb(216, 216, 216);
}

img {
  max-block-size: 30px;
}

header {
  padding: 30px;
  background-color: rgb(2, 171, 177);
  margin-bottom: 35px;
  text-align: left;
  font-weight: 600;
}

.grid-main {
  display: grid;
  grid-gap: 20px;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr;
}

.grid-main .prominant {
  background-color: rgb(63, 11, 11);
  grid-row-start: span 2;
}

.grid-main div {
  background-color: rgb(65, 82, 82);
  border: 10px;
}

footer {
  padding: 50px;
  background-color: rgb(75, 66, 54);
  margin-top: 50px;
  /* margin-bottom: ; */
}

</html>

I think that it will be easiest and more visible to use for page layout grid-template-areas + grid-area.
For example, like this 👇:

.page {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr;
  grid-gap: 20px;
  grid-template-areas: 
    "header header"
    "main   section"
    "main   article"
    "nav    empty"
    "footer footer"
  ;
}

/* do not need */
.page * {
  padding: 40px;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
}

.header {
  grid-area: header;
  background-color: green;
}

.main {
    grid-area: main;
    background-color: orange;
}

.section {
    grid-area: section;
    background-color: gray;
}

.article {
    grid-area: article;
    background-color: purple;
}

.nav {
    grid-area: nav;
    background-color: yellow;
}

.footer {
    grid-area: footer;
    background-color: blue;
}

<div class="page">
    <header class="header">header</header>
    <main class="main">main</main>
    <section class="section">section</section>
    <article class="article">article</article>
    <nav class="nav">nav</nav>
    <footer class="footer">footer</footer>
</div>
