Unfortunately, the files don't render (missing include files), and the 
bmp files included don't seem to match your problem description (I don't 
see any signs of radiosity in what claims to be the output of the 
radiosity version, for instance).

Most importantly you should place your light someplace where it will 
illuminate the whole room. If you cannot, then feel free to use as many 
light sources as you like. (Make sure however to reduce them in 
brightness as you add more.)

For metallic surfaces, using "reflection { 1.0 metallic }" should get 
you started. Make sure you have something to be reflected in the scene.

Is the painting behind glass? In that case, you may experience a known 
bug of POV-Ray 3.6.
