Storm Over the Laboratory

A cinematic gothic scene shows a solitary scientist working at a crowded laboratory table while a gaunt, towering creature stands behind him beneath a monumental arched window. Lightning flashes through storm clouds beyond the leaded glass, contrasting with the warm glow of candles, portrait frames, and scattered chemical vessels. The carefully staged composition recalls a dramatic Frankenstein tableau, with deep shadows, theatrical illumination, and a tense sense of discovery and dread.
