Isaiah Looks at Jerusalem Among Broad Rivers
Isaiah stands on a hill at sunset looking toward Jerusalem on its mountain, ringed by shining rivers, with a large tent pitched in the meadow.
Prompt
Isaiah 33: Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down... But there the glorious Lord will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams. The prophet Isaiah stands large and central on a hill in the golden evening light, his face peaceful and full of longing, gazing at Jerusalem at rest on its mountain, encircled by broad, shining rivers and green gardens, with a great tent whose stakes are firmly fixed in the foreground meadow. Soft radiant golden light, serene hope. 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.
