David Climbs the Mount of Olives Weeping

Prompt

2 Samuel 15: Fleeing Jerusalem from his son Absalom's rebellion, King David goes up the ascent of the Mount of Olives, weeping as he goes, his head covered and his feet bare, and the people with him weep too. David is large and central, climbing the rocky path barefoot, his head draped in a cloth, his face streaked with tears and bowed in grief, leaning on a wooden staff. A few loyal followers with covered heads walk close behind him. Below and behind, across the valley, the walls of Jerusalem in soft hazy light, and gnarled olive trees line the slope. Pale golden morning light; sorrowful, humbled, heartbreaking mood. 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.
