Prompt

2 Kings 10: King Jehu destroys the worship of Baal in Samaria. Jehu, large and central, stands in front of the house of Baal in his armour and cloak, one fist raised in fierce zeal, commanding his men. Behind him soldiers haul down the great stone pillar-image of Baal with ropes so it topples, and carved wooden idols are being burned in a bright bonfire. Beside Jehu stands his ally Jehonadab the son of Rechab, a plain, sober man in simple undyed clothing. Strong clear daylight, dust and sparks in the air. 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.
