Jacob Blesses Pharaoh in Egypt
The aged Jacob raises a hand toward Pharaoh, who sits on his throne, while Joseph stands beside him in a pillared hall.
Prompt
Genesis 47: Joseph brings his father Jacob, a hundred and thirty years old, before Pharaoh, and the old shepherd patriarch blesses the king of Egypt. Jacob stands large and central leaning on his staff, one frail hand raised in blessing over Pharaoh, who sits on his throne listening with respect; Joseph stands at his father's side, steadying him. A bright pillared Egyptian throne hall with sunlight streaming in. The mood is dignified, reverent and moving. 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.
