The Prince Eats Bread at the Closed East Gate
A prince in an embroidered mantle and gold circlet sits breaking bread before shut bronze-bound gate doors.
Prompt
Ezekiel 44: the outer east gate of the sanctuary is shut and shall not be opened, because the LORD God of Israel has entered by it; only the prince sits in it to eat bread before the LORD. The prince of Israel, in a fine embroidered mantle and a simple gold circlet over a wrapped head-cloth, sits large and central on a stone bench in the porch of the great east gate, quietly breaking bread with reverent, humble devotion; behind him the massive gate doors of bronze-bound cedar are firmly closed, the stone gatehouse carved with palm trees. Calm golden morning light. 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.
