The Rich Fool Before His Full Barns

The Rich Fool Before His Full Barns

Emmanuel Higgins@emmanuel_higgins

A richly dressed man spreads his arms before stone barns heaped with grain at sunset, with a single star in the evening sky.

Prompt

Luke 12: the parable of the rich fool. A wealthy landowner in a fine embroidered robe, large and central, stands proudly with arms spread before his great new stone barns, overflowing with heaps of golden grain and sacks of harvest, gazing at his riches with self-satisfied pleasure as the evening falls; the last glow of sunset fades behind him into a deep blue twilight sky where the first star appears, a quiet hint that his soul is required this night. Wide harvested fields beyond. The man wears a wrapped turban over his hair. 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.
