Mary Anoints the Feet of Jesus at Bethany

Prompt

John 12: Mary anoints the feet of Jesus at Bethany. At a supper in a lamplit house in Bethany, Mary, large and central, kneels at the feet of Jesus as he reclines at the low table, pouring precious spikenard ointment from an alabaster flask over his feet and wiping them tenderly with her long hair; Jesus looks down at her with deep gratitude and love, while Martha, carrying a dish, pauses in the doorway behind. The house is filled with warm golden light and the fragrance seems almost visible in the soft haze. 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.
