Moses Anoints Aaron as High Priest
Moses pours oil on the head of kneeling Aaron, who wears the high priest's robe and breastplate. Onlookers stand behind.
Prompt
Leviticus 8: Moses pours the anointing oil upon Aaron's head to consecrate him as high priest. Aaron kneels large and central in his newly given high priest's garments, the blue robe, the ephod and the jewelled breastplate, the gold-plated linen mitre on his head, his eyes closed as golden oil runs down over his beard. Moses stands over him tipping a horn of oil with both hands, his face solemn and tender. The entrance of the tabernacle rises behind them in clear morning light, sacred and glorious. 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.
