Phinehas Questions the Altar Beside the Jordan
Phinehas stands with a hand raised before a stone altar while two leaders of the eastern tribes answer him, with the Jordan behind.
Prompt
Joshua 22: The children of Reuben, Gad and half the tribe of Manasseh build a great altar by the Jordan, and Phinehas the priest comes to ask why. Phinehas stands large and central before the great altar of unhewn stones, his hand raised in solemn question, facing two leaders of the eastern tribes who answer earnestly that it is only a witness between them. Behind them the Jordan river and the hills of Gilead in clear afternoon 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.
