Aged John Embraces Children in Ephesus

Prompt

1 John 4: 'Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God... God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God.' The aged apostle John, supported on the arm of a young disciple, walks slowly along a quiet street of Ephesus at golden sunset, and stoops to embrace two children who have run to him; his face is full of tenderness and joy. Warm glowing evening light, soft blurred colonnade behind; gentle, loving mood. The young disciple wears a wrapped head-cloth 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.
