Prompt

Matthew 26: Jesus prays alone in the garden of Gethsemane. Close up, Jesus kneels by a large flat rock among gnarled olive trees, large and central in the frame, his clasped hands resting on the stone and his face lifted toward heaven in agony and surrender, sweat on his brow, bathed in soft moonlight. He is the only standing or kneeling figure; there are no angels and no other figures near him. In the far background, tiny and blurred, three disciples lie asleep on the ground. Bright full moon in a clear deep-blue night sky over the olive grove. 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.
