Prompt

Ezekiel 28: the proud prince of Tyrus, who says "I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas", covered with every precious stone. The prince of Tyrus sits large and central on a high golden throne on a terrace of his island palace above the sea, robed in purple, his breastplate and garments set with sardius, topaz, diamond, beryl, onyx, jasper, sapphire, emerald and carbuncle in gold, a jewelled crown on his head, chin lifted in arrogant pride; behind him the open sparkling Mediterranean and the harbour of Tyre with merchant ships. Brilliant sunlight glinting on gold and gems. 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.
