Moses Anoints Aaron With Oil
Moses pours oil from a horn over the head of Aaron, who wears the blue robe and jewelled breastplate and stands with eyes closed before snowy mountains.
Prompt
Psalm 133 (A Song of Ascents of David): Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments. Aaron the high priest, in his blue robe and jewelled breastplate, stands large and central with his eyes closed in reverence as his brother Moses pours golden anointing oil from a horn over his head, the fragrant oil running down onto the collar of his garments; dew glistens on the grass, and snow-capped Mount Hermon rises far behind. Soft early-morning light, sacred brotherly unity. 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.
