Proud Rich Man Feasts While a Servant Looks Up

Prompt

Psalm 14: "The fool has said in his heart, There is no God... who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not on the LORD. The LORD looked down from heaven on the children of men." On the open rooftop terrace of a wealthy house, a proud, overfed nobleman in rich embroidered robes reclines at a table heaped with bread, meat and wine, raising his cup with a scornful smirk, while a thin, poor servant bows beside him holding a platter. The nobleman is large and central. Above them, a great shaft of brilliant white light breaks through towering golden clouds and falls across the terrace, as if heaven itself is looking down; the servant glances up at it, the fool does not. Late-afternoon sun. 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.
