## Prompt

```text
Create a cinematic photorealistic 18th-century science laboratory scene inspired by Newton’s prism experiment. A {scientist} figure sits in deep darkness behind a polished table, wearing a voluminous {wig_color} curly powdered wig and period clothing with ruffled cuffs; the face is deliberately obscured by a flat opaque dark-brown square censor block centered over the head. On the left, one hand adjusts a small antique brass optical apparatus with screws and a vertical rod, producing a bright white horizontal beam of light. The beam travels across the table into a transparent triangular glass prism at center-right, where it refracts into a vivid rainbow spectrum extending diagonally to the right, with clearly separated red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet bands. Use a black background, strong chiaroscuro, dramatic lens flares, glowing caustics, reflections on the glossy tabletop, delicate glass outlines, and a moody historical-scientific atmosphere. Wide cinematic aspect ratio, high contrast, realistic materials, shallow depth of field, dark teal and gold color grading, no text.
