Hezekiah Spreads Sennacherib's Letter Before the LORD
Hezekiah kneels in torn sackcloth in the temple with hands lifted and tears on his face. An open letter lies on the floor before him.
Prompt
2 Kings 19: King Hezekiah spreads Sennacherib's threatening letter before the LORD in the temple and prays. Hezekiah, large and central, kneels in sackcloth over his royal tunic on the stone floor of the temple's holy court, the open letter spread on the ground before him with its writing turned away from view, his hands lifted and his face raised in earnest, tearful prayer. Soft rays of golden light stream down through the tall temple doorway onto him. Quiet, reverent atmosphere, cedar and gold-lined walls glowing warmly 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.
