Samuel Anoints the Young David with Oil
A long-bearded man pours oil from a horn over the head of a kneeling young man who looks up at him. Two men and sheep stand in the field behind them.
Prompt
Psalm 89: I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him. In a sunlit field outside Bethlehem, the aged prophet Samuel stands large and central pouring oil from a ram's horn over the head of the kneeling shepherd boy David, whose eyes are lifted in awe as the golden oil glistens and runs down; a few sheep graze behind them on the green slope. Bright golden afternoon light, sacred and joyful. 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.
