Two young guys from the group, which is involved in environmental concerns, tossed canned soup on the late artist Vincent Van Gogh’s “Sunflowers” or “sunflower flowers” at the National Exhibition in London.
Two protesters in Al-Naha reportedly tossed the painting before they stuck to the wall beneath the piece of art, according to a video that was uploaded on social media.
“Our government’s inaction about the climate catastrophe and the expense of living is destroying our history.
“Just Stop Oil” posted on Twitter that its supporters “choose life on art.”
One of the protestors claimed in the film that some people cannot even heat a carton of soup and that “the cost of living crisis is part of the burden of the oil crisis.”
According to the exhibition, there was no harm to the painting, as it is protected by glass, as it was reported that the activists were arrested.
The picture is anticipated to sell for between 100 and 200 million dollars, according to the daily “S,” and a second plate of Van Gogh’s sunflower chain was sold for 41 million dollars back in the 1980s.
