Bezaleel and Aholiab Hold a Tabernacle Curtain
Two craftsmen hold up a large blue, purple and scarlet curtain woven with golden cherubim. Gold vessels and yarn lie behind them in a tent.
Prompt
Exodus 36: Bezaleel and Aholiab and every wise-hearted man make the ten curtains of the tabernacle, of fine twined linen in blue, purple and scarlet woven with cherubim, coupling them with loops of blue and taches of gold. Bezaleel and Aholiab are large and central in an open-sided work tent, together holding up a long, gleaming curtain of richly coloured linen embroidered with golden cherubim, examining the fine work with pride. Behind them lie heaps of offered gold, yarn and acacia wood, more than enough; warm sunlight streams in; the mood is skilled, joyful and devoted. 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.
