The Merchant Ship of Tyre at Sea

Prompt

Ezekiel 27: Tyre pictured as a magnificent merchant ship, perfect in beauty. A great Phoenician merchant ship fills the frame, large and central, sailing proudly on a sparkling deep-blue sea: planks of fir from Senir, a tall mast of cedar of Lebanon, oars of oak of Bashan, rowers' benches inlaid with ivory, and a huge sail of fine embroidered linen from Egypt, with an awning of blue and purple; her deck is laden with amphorae, bales of purple cloth, ivory tusks and bronze vessels, and Phoenician sailors man the oars. Brilliant golden sunlight, white spray at the bow, open 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.
