I'm surprized (sp?) that a state prison would have a religious symbol in it, unless this was in the chapel.

It looks like a scene from The Adoration of the Magi. Regardless, it is far too beautiful to be left to rot in an old prison.

I hope that if they do not restore this beautiful museum that they will transfer the paintings.

Dont be surprised about religion in a Penitentury. Its whole meaning was penance by bible verses, hard manual labor and time alone....
