Fantastic and gorgeous mission! A major step up in spookiness compared to Songs and Laughter.
Finished with 2180/2370 loot and 3/6 (wow, there are 3 more?!?) secrets.
I actually managed to grab the painting without turning the electrified floor off, and also without first finding the easy way into that room. What I did was to drop a crate down from above, drop down and land on the crate. Crate crashed into pieces when I landed on it, and I thought I was done for, but the floor wasn´t dangerous at the spot where I landed. From here, I could see that the gate to the side of the room was frobbable, so now I found that entrance, got out that way (past the room with the Karras portrait), fetched another crate and got back. Since I knew a place where the floor was safe, I stopped at that spot, leaned forward and dropped the crate in front of me, jumped up on the small ledge at the bars exit and from there, took a running jump and landed on the crate. Now I could jump and mantle up onto the alcove with the painting (but I took 1 point of damage). Grabbed the painting, and now I could jump from the painting alcove to my safe spot on the floor. Sweet!
Really looking forward to the other missions, and I will also replay this one and try to find the rest of the loot and secrets. Missed 20 loot on Songs and Laughter, too.
EDIT: Thanks gnartsh, that took me to 2245/2370 and 4/6.

EDIT: Thanks gnartsh, that took me to 2245/2370 and 4/6. I'm also deep into secret hunting in this mission (at exactly half-way).
I've found
1. the coins at the bottom of the pond in Muses Garden
2. the chest on the high beam above the pew area of the chapel, and
3. the small ring near the skeleton in the cell behind the small painting right to the big objective
You have at least one more - and how does the combined list looks like?It looks like all secrets in this mission are
simply hard to find loot pieces.
