Paul in Chains Gives a Letter to Tychicus and Onesimus
A chained Paul hands a rolled letter to Tychicus while Onesimus stands beside him with a travel bag in a Roman room.
Prompt
Colossians 4: 'All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you... with Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you... The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds.' In his guarded lodging in Rome, Paul, a chain on his wrist, places a sealed rolled papyrus letter into the hands of Tychicus, while Onesimus, ready for the journey with a travel bag, stands close beside them; all three large and central, Paul's face earnest and loving. Morning light through the open doorway, a plain wall, travelling cloaks and staffs ready. 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.
