A Caravan Leader Walks Toward a Glowing Jerusalem

Emmanuel Higgins@emmanuel_higgins

A man in a headcloth leads a camel loaded with gold vessels along a road toward a city lit by golden light. A long caravan follows and ships sail on the sea.

Prompt

Isaiah 60: Arise, shine; for thy light is come. A richly dressed caravan leader from Sheba, large and central, leads a camel laden with gold and incense up the road toward Jerusalem, which blazes with radiant golden glory on its hill; behind him comes a long caravan of camels and dromedaries from Midian and Ephah, and on the distant sea the white sails of the ships of Tarshish, all streaming toward the light. Deep shadow over the rest of the earth but brilliant light on the city, a mood of awe and splendour. 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.
