Esau Settles in the Mountains of Seir
Esau stands on a rocky ledge with a staff, looking over red mountains as his family, flocks and camels travel through the valley below.
Prompt
Genesis 36: Esau, who is Edom, takes his wives, sons, flocks and all his possessions away from his brother Jacob and settles in the mountains of Seir, becoming father of the Edomite chiefs. Esau stands large and central on a rocky ledge as the patriarch of his clan, staff in hand, looking out with pride over the dramatic red sandstone mountains of Seir, his sons and a long caravan of camels and flocks winding through the valley below. Warm, glowing golden light on the red cliffs. The mood is proud, settled and expansive. 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.
