Climate activists from the group Riposte Alimentaire targeted a Monet masterpiece at a French museum by hurling soup at the painting, following a similar stunt on the Mona Lisa last month. The group demands sustainable food and has been involved in various acts of environmental protest across Europe, including pouring dye into Rome's Trevi Fountain and splashing paint on iconic artworks. The activists' actions have sparked criticism from cultural authorities and politicians, with some calling for fines and legal consequences for such protests.
Two Swedish women from the environmental activist group, Restore Wetlands, glued themselves to a Monet painting at the National Museum in Stockholm and smeared it with red paint to pressure the Swedish government to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The painting, encased in glass, was on display as part of an exhibition, "The Garden – Six Centuries of Art and Nature." The museum condemned the action and is examining the artwork for damage. This is the latest artwork in a museum to be targeted by climate activists to draw attention to global warming.
