Absinthe: Fun Fact

While researching the phylloxera epidemic in France, I couldn’t find any photos of the blighted vines….However, Vincent Van Gough is thought to have painted an afflicted vineyard in 1888, twenty-five years after the onset of the devastation. In Van Gough’s piece called The Red Vine, the one and only painting he sold (publically) during his lifetime, the grapevine being harvested are wearing…

Just Stop Oil Protesters Throw Soup on Van Gogh's Sunflowers Painting 

Just Stop Oil activists have thrown Heinz tomato soup over Vincent Van Gogh's masterpiece 'Sunflowers' at the National Gallery in London.

The protestors, wearing Just Stop Oil T-shirts, threw two tins of Heinz Tomato soup over the 1888 work - estimated to be worth £76 million - shortly after 11am today before kneeling down in front of the painting and appearing to glue their hands to the wall beneath it

Visitors were then shortly escorted out by security, who then shut the doors to room 43 of the gallery where the painting hangs.

After throwing soup on the painting - which has a glass cover - protestor Phoebe Plummer, 21, yelled: 'What is worth more, art or life? Is it worth more than food? More than justice? 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.'

The National Gallery has confirmed that the painting was unharmed apart from 'minor damage' to the frame.

The Met Police said that both Just Stop Oil protesters have been arrested for criminal damage and aggravated trespass, and officers were working to 'de-bond' them.

Art historian Ruth Millington said: 'I think that attacking one of the world's most loved paintings, which I would call priceless, will not gain these protestors public support. That is what which they need in order to effect real change.

'What has happened today provides a perfect example of why the painting is protected by glass, luckily.'

Activist Anna Holland, 20, from Newcastle said: 'UK families will be forced to choose between heating or eating this winter, as fossil fuel companies reap record profits.

'But the cost of oil and gas isn't limited to our bills. Somalia is now facing an apocalyptic famine, caused by drought and fuelled by the climate crisis.

'Millions are being forced to move and tens of thousands face starvation. This is the future we choose for ourselves if we push for new oil and gas.'

The demonstrators were surrounded by a group of photographers and journalists when they attacked the painting, before the press were asked to leave by National Gallery Staff.

Police were called shortly afterwards to un-glue the climate activists from the wall of the National Gallery and arrested two people for criminal damage.

A National Gallery spokesman said: 'At just after 11am this morning two people entered Room 43 of the National Gallery. The pair appeared to glue themselves to the wall adjacent to Van Gogh's 'Sunflowers' (1888). They also threw a red substance - what appears to be tomato soup - over the painting.

'The room was cleared of visitors and police were called. Officers are now on the scene. There is some minor damage to the frame but the painting is unharmed.

'Two people have been arrested.'

In a tweet from the Metropolitan Police Events account, the force said: 'Officers were rapidly on scene at the National Gallery this morning after two Just Stop Oil protesters threw a substance over a painting and then glued themselves to a wall.

'Both have been arrested for criminal damage & aggravated trespass. Officers are now de-bonding them.'

My favorite artists

Who are your favorite artists? Artist is a very broad term. An artist can be a painter, sculptor, writer, singer, musician, poet – did I miss any? Picking a favorite artist isn’t like picking a favorite flavor of ice cream. if I say that chocolate is my favorite flavor of ice cream, I pretty much know what I’m going to get when I have chocolate ice cream. The same is not true with artists.…

I drew a ROTTMNT OC so you know I’m in deep.

Introducing Vincent aka Vinny Hamato!! Something about Leo having a son and “getting a taste of his own medicine.” Is very delightful to me. Plus Raph finds it extremely entertaining.
