Prompt

2 Kings 25: Jerusalem and the temple of the LORD burn as the Babylonians carry away the bronze of Solomon's temple. Nebuzaradan, captain of the Babylonian guard, large and central, stands in armour in the ruined temple court, pointing as his soldiers haul away a toppled bronze pillar capital decorated with lily work, chain network and rows of pomegranates, and broken pieces of the great bronze sea. Behind him the temple and the city of Jerusalem are engulfed in towering bright orange flames and smoke against a glowing sunset sky. No bodies or blood 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.
