Elisha Weeps Before Hazael at Damascus
Elisha, leaning on a staff with tears on his face, speaks to Hazael, who puts a hand on his chest. Laden camels stand at a city gate behind them.
Prompt
2 Kings 8: In Damascus the prophet Elisha weeps as he looks at Hazael, foreseeing the evil he will do to Israel. Elisha, large and central, stands with tears running down his face, gazing steadily at Hazael. Hazael, large beside him, a Syrian courtier in rich robes, stares back uneasily, one hand on his chest as if protesting, Is thy servant a dog? Behind them a line of camels laden with fine gifts of Damascus waits at a city gate of pale stone. Bright clear afternoon light. 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.
