Protestors Who Threw Cans of Soup at Van Gogh Painting Appear in Court

The Just Stop Oil protestors threw cans of soup at an 1888 Vincent van Gogh painting at the National Gallery in London, but the “Sunflowers” painting was left undamaged while its frame sustained only minor damage. The environmental protestors were hoping to garner attention in order to end the use of fossil fuels in the U.K.
