Hezekiah Opens the Doors of the Temple

King Hezekiah pushes open a tall gold-covered temple door while priests open the other and carry out debris. Sunlight pours through the doorway.

Prompt

2 Chronicles 29: In the first month of the first year of his reign, young King Hezekiah opens the doors of the house of the LORD, which his father Ahaz had shut, and repairs them, calling the priests and Levites to sanctify themselves and cleanse the holy place. Hezekiah, in royal robes with a linen turban and gold fillet, is large and central, pushing open one of the tall gold-covered temple doors with both hands, his face full of determination and hope; beside him priests and Levites in white linen push open the other door and carry out dusty pagan debris; bright morning sunlight floods through the widening doorway onto dusty steps between the two bronze pillars. A mood of renewal and restoration. 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.
