Jeremiah Mourns Among the Ruins of Jerusalem

Prompt

The book of Lamentations as a cinematic film poster. A grieving figure, the prophet Jeremiah, sits alone on the fallen stones of Jerusalem's ruined temple at dawn, head bowed in sorrow, torn robe, ashes on his head. Behind him: the destroyed city with broken walls and smoke still rising; empty streets; a widow weeping at the gate; captives being marched away into exile. On the horizon a thin line of new morning light breaks through the smoke, a sign of mercies new every morning. Grey, ash and soft gold. Style: a blend of photo-realism and cinema, like a still from a big-budget film or a film poster. 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 on the main figures, subtle film grain. Composition like a movie one-sheet in portrait format: the main figures large and close in the upper and middle frame, the book's major events unfolding smaller behind and around them. Historically accurate ancient Near Eastern or first-century clothing, architecture and landscape. Keep the bottom quarter of the frame simple and uncluttered (ground, water or sky) so a large title can be set over it. Absolutely no text, no letters, no words, no numbers, no logos, no watermark, no border, no frame.
