SEE IT: Climate protesters throw tomato soup on Van Gogh’s ‘Sunflowers,’ then glue themselves to wall

Two climate protesters threw soup over Vincent van Gogh’s “Sunflowers” at a London art museum on Friday, then glued themselves to the wall.

The incident took place just after 11 a.m., local time, in room 43 of the National Gallery.

Video shared online shows the protesters removing their jackets and revealing their t-shirts bearing the logo of Just Stop Oil, a “coalition of groups working together to ensure that the government commits to ending all new licenses and consents for the exploration, development and production of fossil fuels in the U.K.,” according to a description on its website.

The young activists were then seen opening two cans of Heinz tomato soup and throwing its contents on one of van Gogh’s best-known paintings.

Gasps can be heard in the background, with one person calling for security. The protestors then each glued a hand to the wall where the painting was hung.

“What is worth more, art or life?” one of the protesters, 21-year-old Phoebe Plummer, told the stunned crowd.

“Are you more concerned about the protection of a painting or the protection of our planet and people? The cost of living crisis is part of the cost of oil crisis,” she said.

“Fuel is unaffordable for millions of cold, hungry families — they can’t even afford to heat a tin of soup,” she added, as security guards arrived at the scene.

The duo was arrested for “criminal damage and aggravated trespass,” London’s Metropolitan Police said in a statement.

They have since been “un-glued” and taken into custody at a central London police station.

The Dutch artist’s sunflowers paintings are among his “most iconic and beloved works,” according to the National Gallery.

He painted them in Arles, in the south of France, between 1888 and 1889. The version vandalized on Friday, which is protected by glass, is one of five versions on display in museums and galleries across the world.

“There is some minor damage to the frame but the painting is unharmed,” police said.
