Aaron Tends the Fire on the Bronze Altar
Aaron in the high priest's garments tends the fire on a horned bronze altar with a shovel. White linen hangings surround the court.
Prompt
Exodus 27: the altar of burnt offering, foursquare, of acacia wood overlaid with brass, with a horn on each corner, standing in the court of the tabernacle enclosed by white hangings of fine twined linen on bronze pillars with silver hooks. Aaron the priest stands large and central beside the gleaming bronze altar, tending the bright fire on it with a bronze shovel, its smoke rising straight up into a clear blue sky. Warm sunlight on the white linen walls of the court; the mood is reverent, orderly and bright. 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.
