Jeremiah in the Stocks at the Temple Gate

Prompt

Jeremiah 20: 'Then Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the high gate of Benjamin.' Jeremiah sits large and central, held in heavy wooden stocks in a stone gateway by the temple, weary but steadfast, while the priest Pashur, chief governor of the house of the LORD, stands beside him looking down coldly. Morning light floods the gate. 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.
