Prompt

1 Kings 16: King Ahab, having married Jezebel of Sidon, raises an altar to Baal in Samaria. Ahab and Jezebel, large and central, stand side by side in royal robes before a newly built stone altar in the house of Baal, Jezebel lifting a smoking incense bowl with a proud, commanding look while Ahab stands beside her with his hand on her arm. Behind them looms a bronze statue of the storm-god Baal with a raised arm, and a carved wooden Asherah pole stands nearby. The pillared temple in Samaria glows in hot orange late-afternoon sunlight. 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.
