Also, just to clarify, the subject matter is early 20th century. The artist is currently in his 30s.

4. Which came first the art or the board game?

When I saw this thread I immediately recognized this art from the board game Scythe. Do you know if the art was created for the game? Or did the art already exist before the game was created?

5. Regarding the artwork that's actually in the game, I don't know the timeline.

I'm pretty sure the game's creator, Jamey Stegmaier, was inspired by some of Rozalksi’s art and the universe he created.

From an interview with Rozalski,
http://nowthenmagazine.com/sheffield/issue-91/mr-werewolf/ :

The 1920+ art is being used for a new board game called Scythe, which is being crowdfunded starting this month. How did you get involved with this project?

A year ago, Jamey Stegmaier from Stonemaier Games saw my paintings. He liked them and the world I created so much that he decided to write to me with a proposal to create a board game. I’m a fan of games and I know that Stonemaier Games attach great importance to quality and details, so I gladly agreed. Along with the game, we also plan to release an artbook with all my paintings and concepts from the 1920+ universe. I can’t wait for 13 October.

6. His artstation profile lists his first published work as 2002

He has a twitter account and clearly is listing 1920 as the year the fictional scenario took place.
