France: Activists threw soup at the Mona Lisa painting

by time news

Activists threw soup at the Mona Lisa painting kept in the Louvre Museum in Paris.

According to the BBC, the 16th-century painting by Leonardo da Vinci is unlikely to have been damaged as it is kept behind bulletproof glass.

In a video published in French media, two activists are seen claiming the right to “healthy and sustainable food”, shouting that “our agricultural system is sick”.

One of the most famous works of art has been behind bulletproof glass since the early 1950s, when it was damaged by a visitor who dropped acid.

In 2022, an activist threw cake at the blackboard, urging people to “think about the Earth.”

The Mona Lisa was stolen from the Museum in 1911 by a museum employee who hid in a cupboard at night to get the painting.

The painting was recovered two years later when he tried to sell it to an antiques dealer in Florence, Italy.
