Paul Holding a Cracked Jar Full of Light

Prompt

2 Corinthians 4: 'God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts... But we have this treasure in earthen vessels.' Paul, weathered and scarred from hardship, sits large and close in a dim, plain room, holding up in both hands a humble cracked clay jar from which a brilliant warm golden light pours out, lighting his face with quiet wonder and joy. Rough plastered wall behind, a small window with night sky; the glowing light fills the scene with gold. 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.
