Cain and Abel Make Offerings at Their Altars

Abel kneels at a stone altar with a lamb as fire rises, while Cain stands by his altar of grain and fruit looking angry.

Prompt

Genesis 4: Cain and Abel bring their offerings to the LORD at two simple stone altars. Abel, a young shepherd, kneels large in the foreground beside his altar with a firstling lamb, its smoke rising straight up into a shaft of heavenly light; Cain stands beside his own altar heaped with grain and fruit, its smoke drifting low, his face darkening with anger and envy. Open fields and rolling hills outside Eden under a bright sky. The mood is solemn and foreboding. 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.
