Jacob Anoints the Pillar at Bethel

Prompt

Genesis 35: Jacob returns to Bethel, where God appears to him again, blesses him and confirms his new name, Israel. Jacob stands large and central beside a tall upright standing stone he has set up as a pillar, pouring oil from a clay flask over its top, his face lifted in reverent gratitude. A great golden radiance of heavenly light shines down on the hilltop, God's presence shown only as light, over the rocky hills of Bethel. The mood is holy, grateful and renewed. 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.
