The Four Horsemen Ride Across the Plain

Prompt

Revelation 6: 'And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him... another horse that was red... a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand... and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death.' Four powerful horses gallop toward the viewer side by side across a wide plain under a vast dramatic sky: a white horse whose rider holds a bow and wears a golden crown, a red horse whose rider lifts a great sword, a black horse whose rider holds up a pair of balance scales, and a pale, ashen-grey horse whose rider is a gaunt hooded figure. Large and close, dust rising from their hooves, dramatic golden storm light breaking through clouds; awe and dread, nothing gory. The riders wear helmets or wrapped head-cloths. 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.
