Prompt

Luke 23: "Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me." On the narrow stone road leading out of Jerusalem toward Golgotha, Jesus, large and central, wearied and wearing a crown of thorns, turns toward a small group of weeping women in mourning mantles and speaks to them with sorrowful compassion; just behind him, Simon of Cyrene, a strong countryman, carries the heavy wooden cross on his shoulder, and a Roman soldier in a crested helmet walks beside them. The city walls and a pale bright sky behind. Reverent and non-graphic, no blood or wounds shown. 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.
