Solomon Calls the Bride Away in Spring
King Solomon in a rich mantle reaches toward his veiled bride at a garden gate among lilies, anemones, a gazelle and doves.
Prompt
Song of Solomon 2: I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys... Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. For, lo, the winter is past, the flowers appear on the earth. Young King Solomon, the bridegroom, in a fine mantle, stands large and central in a spring meadow full of white lilies and red anemones, holding out his hand toward the bride, who stands modestly in a long dress and veil at the open gate of a stone garden wall, smiling. A gazelle stands on the hillside behind them and turtledoves fly over budding fig trees. Fresh, luminous spring morning; chaste and joyful. 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.
