Protesters have thrown red soup at the Mona Lisa painting in the Louvre in Paris.<\/p>\n

Footage shows two women crossing a security boundary to get closer to the painting, with both throwing soup towards the Leonardo da Vinci artwork.<\/p>\n

Both are wearing a shirt with Riposte Alimentaire – which translates as food response – written on the front, referring to a climate activist group.<\/p>\n

The incident came as French farmers protest<\/strong> for days against low wages, rising costs and regulations.<\/p>\n

“What’s the most important thing?” the women shouted. “Art, or right to healthy and sustainable food?”<\/p>\n

“Our farming system is sick, our farmers are dying at work,” they added.<\/p>\n

Museum staff then rushed to the painting with black screens in a bid to block the public’s view and asked visitors to evacuate the room immediately.<\/p>\n

Two people were arrested following the incident, Paris police said.<\/p>\n

A glass window protects the Mona Lisa, meaning the soup would not have covered the painting itself.<\/p>\n

Riposte Alimentaire claims two people – aged 24 and 63 – involved with their “new campaign” were behind the incident to “demand the establishment of sustainable food social security”.<\/p>\n

Angry French farmers have been using their tractors for days to set up blockades and slow traffic across the country as they protest for better pay for their produce.<\/p>\n

Also seeking less red tape and protection against cheap imports, the farmers said a series of measures announced by the government on Friday does not fully address their demands.<\/p>\n

As a result, some farmers threaten to converge on Paris, starting on Monday, to block the main roads leading to the capital.<\/p>\n

The world’s most famous artwork has been targeted before.<\/p>\n

In May 2022, cake was smeared on the covering<\/strong>, with bystanders claiming a “man dressed as an old lady” jumped out of a wheelchair before trying to smash the protective glass.<\/p>\n

The gallery explained the culprit had managed to get close to the portrait by “simulating a disability”, allowing them to take advantage of a policy designed to help people with mobility problems see the major works in its collection clearly.<\/p>\n

One man was seen saying “think of the planet” after the incident.<\/p>\n

Activists from Just Stop Oil have targeted artwork elsewhere recently, with other attempts including throwing soup at Vincent Van Gogh’s Sunflowers<\/strong> at London’s National Gallery in October 2022.<\/p>\n

In the following month, campaigners glued themselves to Goya paintings in Madrid’s Prado museum.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
