Hezekiah Watches the Shadow Go Back on the Stairway

Prompt

Isaiah 38: The shadow goes back ten steps on the stairway of Ahaz. King Hezekiah, pale and weak from his illness, sits up on his royal bed beside a wide open window, large and central, a poultice of pressed figs on his neck, gazing in awe and hope at the stone stairway of Ahaz in the palace courtyard, where the shadow cast by the sun is visibly moving back up the steps. The prophet Isaiah stands beside the bed pointing out at the stairway. Brilliant late-afternoon sun with long golden shadows, a feeling of miracle. 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.
