Radical Eco-Activists Throw Soup At Van Gogh Painting

Eco-activists from a disruptive climate activist group threw soup at Van Gogh paintings at the National Gallery in London, England, on Friday, footage posted to social media on shows.

The eco-activists are a part of Just Stop Oil, a climate activist group that receives funding from the Climate Emergency Fund (CEF) bankrolled by many wealthy liberals. The activists threw soup onto Vincent Van Gogh’s famous “Sunflowers” painting, according to footage posted to Just Stop Oil’s official X account.

One protester said that those jailed for climate activism are “on the right side of history,” according to the video.

The Van Gogh painting had also been targeted in October 2022, when two other activists, Phoebe Plummer and Anna Holland, threw soup glued themselves to the wall at the National Gallery. Holland and Plummer have been jailed after being convicted of criminal damage, BBC reported Friday.

Holland’s jail term was set at 20 months while Plummer received a two-year jail term, according to BBC.
