A sumptuous painting by the 17th century Italian artist Orazio Gentileschi, showing a young nude woman about to be showered with gold, sold to the J. Paul Getty Museum for $30.5 million at Sotheby's in New York.
The price for "Danae," which was commissioned in 1621 and recently hung at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, set an auction record for the Baroque artist and was one of the top auction prices for an Old Master painting, Sotheby's said Thursday.
