I haven't heard of it, but it reminds me of Hosta 'Nougat' which is (was) a sport of Hosta 'Revolution' without the green edge. Unfortunately it wasn't the best grower, terrible really, and was highly unstable. I would suspect that this one would be similar but that example is very pretty!

If the picture you posted is from the website's for sale listing then it is highly unlikely to be an oil painting, it most likely is a photo printed on canvas. Take a closer look at the outline of the flowers and you'll notice a softness of focus, characteristic of photography, a true oil painting would have shown the same sharpness in the flowers and the leaves.... the focus is very much on the leaves only.

OOPS!
Since it wasn't clear to me from the original posting this was for a Hosta 'Oil on Canvas' -which is very different from an Oil on Canvas Hosta- I assumed we were dealing with a pictoral representation of an unnamed hosta as an Oil on Canvas, just the sort of confusion you get when proper nomenclature protocols are not followed....
