Leprous Azariah Watches Jotham Judge
King Azariah, with pale patches on his hands, looks from a window toward the city. Below, his son Jotham sits on a judgment seat.
Prompt
2 Kings 15: King Azariah of Judah, struck with leprosy, lives apart in a separate house while his son Jotham rules for him. Azariah, also called Uzziah, large and central, stands alone at the window of a plain isolated house, wrapped in a simple mantle instead of royal robes, with pale leprous patches on his hands, gazing sorrowfully toward the city. Below him in the sunlit courtyard his son Jotham, crowned and in royal robes, sits on a judgment seat listening to the people of the land. Clear bright afternoon light, Jerusalem's walls behind. 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.
