Three Just Stop Oil activists threw tomato soup at the 'Sunflowers' and another from the series that is on loan from the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The stunt comes after two protesters were handed prison sentences for doing the same in 2022.
Three Just Stop Oil activists have thrown soup at two of Vincent van Gogh's paintings in London's National Gallery just hours after members of the protest group were jailed for doing the same thing in 2022. The trio threw tomato soup at the 'Sunflowers' and another from the series that is on loan from the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Just Stop Oil said the 'action' was a 'sign of defiance' in response to the sentencing of the two protesters earlier today.
' The judge told Plummer, who was also handed a criminal behaviour order: 'You clearly think your beliefs give you the right to commit crimes when you feel like it. You do not.' Raj Chada, defending Holland, said the women 'did check' the painting was protected by a glass cover before throwing the soup. Plummer, representing herself, told the hearing: 'My choice today is to accept whatever sentence I receive with a smile.
