Jesus Calls the Thirsty at the Feast of Tabernacles
Jesus stands on temple steps with open arms while a priest pours water from a golden pitcher. Leafy booths stand at the edges of the court.
Prompt
John 7: "If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink." On the last great day of the Feast of Tabernacles, in the sunlit court of Herod's temple, Jesus, large and central, stands on a broad stone step and cries out with arms opened wide to the people; behind him, a priest in white linen pours water from a golden pitcher, the stream glittering in the sunlight, and leafy booths of palm branches and willow stand at the edges of the court. Bright festive morning light on golden limestone. The priest and worshippers wear wrapped turbans or 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.
