King Jehoram Reads Elijah's Letter

Prompt

2 Chronicles 21: A writing comes to wicked King Jehoram of Judah from Elijah the prophet: because he has walked in the ways of the house of Ahab and slain his brothers, the LORD will smite him with a great plague and an incurable disease. Jehoram, a hard-faced king in dark red royal robes and a gold crown, is large and central, standing in his palace hall holding the unrolled scroll with its back toward the viewer so no writing is visible, his face draining pale with dread; a dusty messenger in a travelling cloak who brought it bows nearby, and behind the king a pagan high-place altar is glimpsed through a window. Warm afternoon light falling across a stone hall with cedar beams; a foreboding mood. 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.
