Aaron and Hur Hold Up Moses' Hands
Moses sits on a rock at sunset with his staff raised, while Aaron and Hur support his arms on either side.
Prompt
Exodus 17: on the top of the hill at Rephidim, while Joshua fights Amalek in the valley below, Moses sits on a stone with the rod of God in his hand, and Aaron and Hur hold up his weary arms, one on each side, until the going down of the sun. The three men are large and central against the sky, Moses' arms raised high, his face strained but steadfast, Aaron and Hur bracing his hands. Glowing sunset light over the rocky hilltop, with only a faint haze of the distant battle far below; the mood is perseverance and faith. 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.
