Skyscraper in a Steampunk Oil Painting Workshop

An oil painting in thick impasto and rich glaze: a colossal skyscraper rises through a cluttered steampunk workshop. The scene is bathed in warm amber and copper light from gas lamps, with dramatic chiaroscuro. The workshop is alive with riveted brass girders, steam pipes, gear lattices, wooden workbenches, lathes, and hanging tools. The towering building blends Art Deco glass and steel with fantastical brass ornamentation, its spires catching sparks and reflections from oil-painted metal surfaces. Foreground includes a goggles-wearing craftsman and a workbench cluttered with gears, lubricants, and blueprint parchments. Perspective is slightly skewed to emphasize height, with visible thick brushstrokes and pronounced impasto on the tower and machinery, textures of oil paint, crackle of aged canvas, and a moody, smokey atmosphere.
