Jesus Gives the Great Commission on the Mountain
The risen Jesus stands on a hilltop at sunrise with arms open while the disciples sit and kneel around him. The Sea of Galilee lies behind.
Prompt
Matthew 28: the Great Commission on the mountain in Galilee. The risen Jesus stands on a green mountaintop in Galilee, large and central, radiant with a soft glow of glory, his arms open wide as he says "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations"; around him the eleven disciples, Peter, John, James, Andrew and Thomas nearest, kneel in worship and wonder, seen partly from behind. Behind them the Sea of Galilee and the hills stretch away under a brilliant sunrise sky. The other disciples wear wrapped head-cloths over their 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.
