The Assyrian King Shakes His Fist at Jerusalem
A king in a tall conical helmet stands in his chariot and points a clenched fist toward a walled city on a hill. His army with spears and banners stands behind him.
Prompt
Isaiah 10: O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger... As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem. On a rocky ridge, an arrogant Assyrian king in a tall conical royal headdress, long curled beard and fringed embroidered robes stands large and central in his chariot, shaking his clenched fist toward the walled city of Jerusalem on its hill across the valley. Behind him the spears and standards of his vast army fill the road. Hard bright afternoon light, menacing yet luminous. 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.
