The Enchanted Carpet in a Lab of Alchemy

An ornate magic carpet floats above a cluttered scientific laboratory, depicted in lush oil-painting textures with thick impasto. The carpet’s intricate patterns shimmer in gold, azure, and ruby, with fluttering tassels and glowing magical runes along its borders. Around it, glass beakers, bubbling flasks, Bunsen burners, copper coils, and shelves of herbs in jars reflect a warm amber laboratory light. A chalkboard with arcane diagrams and a glowing molecular schematic hangs on the wall. Ethereal steam and sparkling motes swirl in the air, blending alchemy and science. Dramatic chiaroscuro, rich earthy tones, and painterly brushstrokes evoke an old master painting, yet infused with fantastical energy.
