Jeremiah Weeps Over Ruined Jerusalem
Jeremiah sits on a rock with his hand over his face, looking at the broken walls and smoking city, with captives far off.
Prompt
Lamentations 1: How doth the city sit solitary, that was full of people. The prophet Jeremiah, large and central, sits on a rock on the Mount of Olives weeping, his face half buried in one hand and tears on his cheeks, looking across at the broken walls of Jerusalem and the burned, smoking temple mount on the hill opposite; far off a small line of captives is led away eastward. Clear golden late-afternoon light with drifting smoke, a mood of deep grief. 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.
