Unfortunately, your example portrays the scientists as idiots. To suggest that anyone would consider a microscope the first tool to use in looking at a painting is ridiculous. You are attempting to portray scientists as obsessed with detail, to the exclusion of the big picture, but this is not the case. The reason that scientist concentrate on minutiae is simply that the world is a big place, with an enormous amount to study. There is simply too much information in modern scientific study for any one person to get to grips with the whole thing at once, so people specialise. They have to.
Nonetheless, science is all about the big picture. Why else would physicists pursue the so-called "Grand Unified Theory"? Why would biologists quest after the most complete possible description of life on Earth? In reality though, the only way to address these questions is bit by bit, with each specialised area of study contributing to the whole body of human knowledge.
Religion and science do indeed both seek to describe the same universe, from different angles, but your depiction of the relationship between the two is one that strikes me as being unfair and inaccurate.
