Is it possible to “build-up” the mouldimy by adding more, to make the molding larger?
Paint the moulding a slightly darker color than it is now. And make sure the gap is the same color as the ceiling. This is a problem with older houses, but the color change will help optically.
I would add a thin moulding trim to the picture rail so there is a gap behind, and then for some real wow .... add LED strips for a warm glow of cove lighting. PS paint the back of the moulding strip bright white.

You are correct that it is a picture molding. Back in the day pictures were hung from the molding, long strings/wire, since walls were plaster and lathe. Hence the gap for brackets. Easier to hang and move pictures around than nailing into walls a crumbling the plaster. Stuff the rope caulk or anything else into the gap as a backing, then caulk with regular caulk and use a wet finger to smooth it out! Easier fix than adding, fitting, and painting molding.
Hello there,
You could always disguise the gap by adding a coloured border to the ceiling.
