Oil protesters throw soup on Van Gogh's Sunflowers painting

 

Climate activists have thrown tins of tomato soup over a Van Gogh painting of sunflowers at the National Gallery in London.

Footage showed the pair opening two tins and throwing the contents on the masterpiece before apparently gluing their hands to the wall.

They were wearing T-shirts from the Just Stop Oil protest group.

The painting in the London gallery is one of five versions of Van Gogh's Sunflowers on display across the world.

The action comes three months after members of the same group pasted paper over John Constable's the Hay Wain in the same gallery.
