"The claimants of the Holocaust-era painting by Vincent van Gogh"

Speaking of English, doesn't this sentence as written imply that the work was done in the 1940's?

Yes...on the face of it. But what if Van Gogh was prescient and created a painting whose subject matter dealt with the events of 1930-40 in Nazi Germany? Then it would make sense. And it would make the painting something that Elizabeth Taylor could not afford.

Just an idle musing.
