How to avoid falling into the trap below?

Undecided questions

The sentence is: Do you know Marlin painted after Raphael?
It's said that there's a trap in it for translation. Could you please tell me how to understand it correctly? If you can translate it into Chinese, then it'll be much better! Many thx in advance!

Hmmm, I wonder if it should read "Do you know that Marlin painted after Raphael?". It's not easy to see the trap...
