Priests Carry the Ark Around Jericho as the Wall Falls
Priests in white linen carry the golden ark and blow rams' horns while the walls of Jericho crumble in dust behind them.
Prompt
Joshua 6: On the seventh day the priests blow the rams' horns as the Ark of the Covenant goes around Jericho, and the great wall begins to fall down flat. In the foreground, large and central, priests in white linen carry the Ark on their shoulders: a gold-covered chest with two golden cherubim facing each other on the mercy seat, wings outstretched, borne on two long gold-covered poles; before them priests lift curved rams' horn trumpets. Behind them the massive mudbrick walls of Jericho crack and crumble in clouds of golden dust under a bright morning sky. 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.
