Michael Guards the Body of Moses

Prompt

Jude 1: 'Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.' On the rocky summit of Mount Nebo, Michael the archangel, with great shining white feathered wings spread wide, stands large and central over the peaceful body of aged Moses, who lies wrapped in his cloak on the rock as if asleep; Michael's hand is raised in calm command toward a dark, shadowy fallen angel with tattered dark wings who recoils into the shadows at the edge of the frame. Brilliant heavenly light streams down on Michael and Moses; distant blue hills of the promised land behind. Majestic, not gory, no horns or cartoon devil. 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.
