The Healed Gadarene Sits at Jesus' Feet
A healed man in a clean cloak sits beside Jesus, who rests a hand on his shoulder. Broken chains lie in the grass and swine run down the shore in the distance.
Prompt
Mark 5: the man of the Gadarenes, healed, sits clothed and in his right mind at the feet of Jesus. On a grassy slope above the shore of the Sea of Galilee, below rocky hillside tombs, the once-wild man, now washed and wearing a clean cloak and a wrapped head-cloth, sits at the feet of Jesus, large and central, gazing up at him with peace and gratitude, broken chains lying in the grass beside him; Jesus sits on a rock and rests a hand on his shoulder. In the distance a herd of swine plunges down a steep cliff into the sea. Bright clear morning light. 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.
