Prompt

1 Kings 11: The prophet Ahijah tears Jeroboam's new garment into twelve pieces in an open field. The prophet Ahijah, large and central, holds up torn strips of a brand-new cloak, pressing ten of the pieces into the hands of Jeroboam, who stands before him astonished and wide-eyed, while the remaining strips lie over Ahijah's arm. The two men are alone on a quiet country road among green fields and olive trees outside Jerusalem, the city walls far behind them, under a clear bright morning sky. 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.
