Elisha Sees Elijah Taken Up in the Chariot
Elisha kneels by the Jordan reaching up as Elijah rises in a whirlwind beside a chariot and horses of fire, and his mantle falls.
Prompt
2 Kings 2: Elijah is taken up to heaven in a whirlwind as a chariot of fire and horses of fire part him from Elisha. Elisha, large and central in the foreground, stands on the stony bank beyond the Jordan with arms flung upward, crying out, My father, my father. Above him Elijah rises in a swirling whirlwind of golden light beside a blazing chariot drawn by horses of fire, and Elijah's dark mantle drifts down through the air toward Elisha's outstretched hands. Wide sky glowing with fiery gold, the Jordan valley below. Style: a blend of photo-realism and cinema, like a still from a big-budget film. Bright, rich, saturated, luminous colour, clear daylight or glowing golden light even in dramatic scenes, never murky or muddy, crisp detail, real human faces full of emotion, shallow depth of field, subtle film grain. Simple, uncluttered composition: ONE clear scene from this chapter, with the chapter's main character or characters large, close and central in the upper and middle frame, and a simple background. No montage, no collage, no inset vignettes, no crowd of small figures competing for attention. Historically accurate ancient Near Eastern clothing, architecture and landscape. Keep the bottom quarter of the frame simple and uncluttered (ground, water or sky) so a large chapter number can be set over it. Absolutely no text, no letters, no words, no numbers, no logos, no watermark, no border, no frame.
