The Preacher Looks Over His Kingdom at Sunset

Prompt

The book of Ecclesiastes as a cinematic film poster. An old king, the Preacher, stands alone on a high palace terrace at sunset looking out over everything he built: vast vineyards, gardens, pools, palaces, herds and treasure. His face is weary and searching. Wind blows dust and leaves across the terrace; an hourglass of sand runs beside him. In the sky and landscape: the sun rising and setting, rivers running to the sea, a broken golden bowl and a silver cord. Melancholy amber light. 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.
