Chariot Charges Through Burning Nineveh

Prompt

Nahum 3: "Woe to the bloody city!... The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the pransing horses, and of the jumping chariots. The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword and the glittering spear." In a wide paved street of Nineveh, a Median war chariot drawn by two rearing horses charges straight toward us, large and central, its driver cracking a whip while a warrior beside him raises a gleaming sword; behind them the great Assyrian palace with carved winged-bull guardians is ablaze, flames and golden smoke rising into a bright sky. Brilliant, dramatic firelight and sunlight, flying dust, never murky. 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.
