Climate protesters threw tomato soup at Vincent van Gogh‘s famed “Sunflowers” painting Friday to protest the extraction and use of fossil fuels.
Members of Just Stop Oil, wearing T-shirts bearing the name of the group, sloshed two cans of tomato soup over the famous painting, located at the National Gallery in London, as seen in a video the group posted to Twitter.
“What is worth more: art or life? Is it worth more than food? Worth more than justice?” one of the activists yells, adding, “Are you more concerned about the protection of a painting, or the protection of our planet and people?”
On Twitter, the group has called for roads across London to be blocked every day in October to protest fossil fuels. Earlier this year, the group attempted to draw attention to climate change by gluing their hands to other famous works of art.
The National Gallery said the protestors were dealt with, explaining in a statement, “There is some minor damage to the frame but the painting is unharmed. Two people have been arrested.”
