Oh, man, that Moldovian guy just blew up the painting with a freaking rocket launcher! Thank goodness you snapped a photograph of it before it was destroyed. But, no, it's not about getting a look at the painting to see the secret information encoded into it. It's about getting to the painting and protecting it. That failed, unfortunately, but at least they've still got something to go off of when looking for that particular painting's secret. "We've got a picture" could refer to having gotten a picture of the Moldovian soldier to run it through a database or something. Not of the painting. It could have been any photograph of that painting, really.
(Which opens up another plot hole- why they bother destroying the originals if depictions of them already exist. Well, maybe. Just thank goodness this one wasn't one of those paintings whose secrets were encoded using under-layers of paint or invisible ink.)
