Ezekiel Lies Before the Clay Brick of Jerusalem
Ezekiel lies bound on his side on a mat facing a clay brick engraved with a besieged city, with an iron pan beside it.
Prompt
Ezekiel 4: Ezekiel lies on his side before a clay brick on which he has drawn Jerusalem under siege. Ezekiel, a priest in a plain linen robe with one arm bared, lies large in the foreground on his left side on a mat, bound with cords, his face set toward a large flat sun-dried clay brick on which the walled city of Jerusalem is engraved, ringed with tiny clay siege ramps, a small fort and miniature battering rams; an upright iron griddle pan stands like a wall between him and the brick. Beside him a small jar of water and a coarse barley cake. A courtyard of a mud-brick house in Babylonia in warm daylight. 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.
