Gabriel Appears to Zacharias at the Altar of Incense

Prompt

Luke 1: the angel Gabriel appears to the aged priest Zacharias beside the golden altar of incense in the Holy Place of the temple. Zacharias, large and central, stands in his white linen priestly vestments holding a golden censer, startled and afraid, as a tall, clearly winged angel in shining white stands at the right side of the altar, speaking to him. Fragrant incense smoke curls upward in warm golden lamplight against richly carved cedar and gold-panelled walls behind a heavy veil. Awe, holy wonder and a promise of joy. 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.
