Spanish term
se pierde su pista
Spanish to English
Art/Literary
Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
This is in a phrase that is describing a painting. I think the full phrase is ultimately meant to say, “the painting was lost in 1945” or “the painting went missing in 1945” - thoughts?

the trail went cold
Like Patinba and Christian, I would like the whole sentence so we can offer sth suitable for this particular context. Christian's suggestion sounds great but even so, here's another possible alternative.
