Swords Beaten Into Plowshares

Prompt

Isaiah 2: They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation. At an open-air forge on a hillside, a muscular blacksmith in a leather apron hammers a glowing sword on an anvil, bending it into the curved blade of a plowshare, sparks flying. The prophet Isaiah stands large beside him, watching with hope. In the distance the mountain of the Lord's house, the temple on Mount Zion, rises above the hills in bright sunlight, with travellers streaming toward it along the roads. Hopeful, radiant morning. 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.
