Daniel Explains the Great Image to Nebuchadnezzar
Daniel gestures upward before the seated king while a tall statue of gold, silver, bronze and iron has its feet struck by a stone. Fragments scatter through the sky.
Prompt
Daniel 2: Daniel reveals Nebuchadnezzar's dream of the great image. Young Daniel, large in the foreground, stands before King Nebuchadnezzar on his throne with one hand raised as he explains; behind and above them, filling the sky like a towering vision, rises the great image with a head of fine gold, chest and arms of silver, belly and thighs of bronze, legs of iron, and feet of iron mixed with clay, and a great stone cut out without hands strikes its feet and shatters them. A throne room open to the sky, brilliant light glinting on the metals, a mood of awe. 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.
