After attaching themselves to a famous Ferremet plate dating back to 1665 at the Maurico Museum in the Netherlands during the busiest hours of the visit, three guys were detained.
“At one thirty in the afternoon, our crew,” the girl with pearl earrings, “brought her right place in Maurico,” a museum official said.
According to the French News Agency, the museum’s director, Martin Goslink, said, “We are very thankful that the painting was not harmed and returned to its accustomed spot so fast.”
According to him, the Fermener piece that served as the basis for the best-selling book and Hollywood film about the girl with the pearl earring was checked in the museum’s restoration lab and found to be in good condition.
Shortly after the catastrophe, which astounded the tourists and required the museum staff to surround the area, the three Belgian climate activists who were arrested in the 1940s were detained.
Pictures on social media showed a man wearing a “JUST Stop Oil” shirt as he stuck to his head with the glass that protects the painting, while another paste his hand on the wall and a third emptied a box, which seemed to be a tomato soup.
The painting that Goslink deemed to be extremely vulnerable was not intended to be destroyed, according to climate campaigners.
On its website, Just Stop Oil, a group that wants to stop global warming that is making the earth unlivable, claims that it has started using shock tactics against iconic artworks to compel people to think about what they value and how to safeguard it.
According to the coalition of anti-fossil fuel organisations, “What we do permits talks.”
He went on: “The climate in Somalia is causing a terrible famine, but I refrained from commenting on it. But now that there is a piece of art at an exhibition, I can vent my rage. Does anything contribute to this? Really, what can I do? Here, the value is.”
The first attempt by The Maurico Museum is not a week.
On October 14, activists splashed soup on Vincent Van Gogh’s “sunflower” at the National Exhibition in London and coloured mashed potatoes on a Claude Monet painting in Germany; fortunately, neither piece of glass was damaged.
Why are the paintings being altered?
