Art Across the Ages: A New Filmmaker Meets an Old Master

Sotheby’s invited up and coming filmmaker Pamela Romanowsky, writer and director of The Adderall Diaries, to create a short film inspired by Orazio Gentileschi’s masterpiece, Danaë – the star of our Master Paintings sale on 28 January in New York. In this short interview, Ms Romanowsky describes her first impression of this classic painting and explains why we are compelled by images of beautiful women in danger.
