Joshua Meets the Commander of the Lord's Army at Jericho

Prompt

The book of Joshua as an epic film poster. Joshua, a powerful warrior in bronze-age armour, stands in the foreground with sword drawn, facing the commander of the Lord's army. Behind him the great walls of Jericho collapse in clouds of dust as seven priests blow ram's horn trumpets and the golden ark of the covenant is carried around the city. Smaller scenes: Israel crossing the Jordan on dry riverbed while priests stand in the water with the ark; Rahab's window with its scarlet cord; the sun standing still over Gibeon. Dusty gold and blood-red sky. Style: a blend of photo-realism and cinema, like a still from a big-budget film or a film poster. 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, people with authentic Middle Eastern and Mediterranean features (olive to brown skin, dark hair and eyes), shallow depth of field on the main figures, subtle film grain. Composition like a movie one-sheet in portrait format: the main figures large and close in the upper and middle frame, the book's major events unfolding smaller behind and around them. Historically accurate ancient Near Eastern or first-century clothing, architecture and landscape. Keep the bottom quarter of the frame simple and uncluttered (ground, water or sky) so a large title can be set over it. Absolutely no text, no letters, no words, no numbers, no logos, no watermark, no border, no frame.
