Bezaleel Makes the Ark of the Covenant

Prompt

Exodus 37: Bezaleel makes the ark of acacia wood overlaid with pure gold, and beats out of one piece of gold the two cherubim on the ends of the mercy seat, their wings spread on high and their faces toward one another. Bezaleel kneels large and central beside the gleaming golden ark in his workshop tent, a small hammer in hand, carefully finishing the wing of a cherub, his face intent and reverent. Warm golden light pours across the shining gold; the background is simple and softly blurred; the mood is skilful, focused and holy. 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.
