Van Gogh’s Sunflowers in soup_我的网站
A | London, Oct 15 (UNI) Environmental activists threw tomato soup over Vincent van Gogh’s over $80 million worth 'Sunflowers' painting at the London’s National Gallery, in their latest “direct-action” stunt targeting works of art.
The gallery said on Friday the protesters caused “minor damage to the frame but the painting is unharmed”. The National Gallery on its website says the signed painting from 1888 was acquired by the gallery in 1924.
Just Stop Oil aims to end UK government involvement in oil and gas and has mounted a series of high-profile protests.
London’s Metropolitan Police said its officers arrested two protesters from the group for criminal damage and aggravated trespass.
The two after they “threw a substance over a painting” at the gallery on Trafalgar Square, glued themselves to a wall just after 11 am, social media videos showing the footage have gone viral.
Police said they had unglued the protesters and taken them to a central London police station.
The National Gallery said the two protesters “appeared to glue themselves to the wall adjacent to Van Gogh’s Sunflowers” and threw a “red substance” at the painting. The room was cleared of visitors and police called, it added.
After glueing themselves to the wall, one of the activists shouted: “What is worth more, art or life?” The activist group said the painting has an estimated value of $84.2 million.
“Are you more concerned about the protection of a painting or the protection of our planet and people?” she asks.
In the video, someone can be heard yelling “oh my God” as the soup hits the canvas, and another person shouts “Security?” while soup drips from the frame onto the floor.
Just Stop Oil said in a statement its activists threw two cans of Heinz Tomato soup over the painting to demand the UK government halt all new oil and gas projects.
It later tweeted that the protest’s message was “Choose life over art”.
“Human creativity and brilliance is on show in this gallery, yet our heritage is being destroyed by our Government’s failure to act on the climate and cost of living crisis,” the group said.
The gallery called the works “among Van Gogh’s most iconic and best-loved works”.

B | New Delhi, Oct 19 ( UNI) Chegg, the leading student-first online learning company and SEEDS (Sustainable Ecological Environmental Development Society) distributed over 15,500 nutrition kits to school children in Delhi and Visakhapatnam.
As superfoods are known for the health benefits of their remarkable nutrient density, over 90 schools were selected with the majority of the children from low-income families.
From Visakhapatnam, where students come from rural communities, 66 schools were selected. In Delhi, about 28 schools under the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) were selected for the distribution, to promote the overall well-being of children.
"As a result of growing global crises such as climate change, COVID-19 and food insecurity, the marginalized groups of society suffer the most, especially children. We believe that providing school children from underprivileged families with superfoods will build their immunity, enabling them to learn effectively in classrooms" said Dr Manu Gupta, Co-Founder, SEEDS.
With the provision of these healthy food kits, the children were introduced to healthy eating habits. A nutritious diet contributes to their physical health, which results in a healthy mind for learning.
In addition to improving their health after the COVID-19 pandemic, the distribution of nutrient-rich food items in schools was also intended to help children by giving them the food they needed for growth.
“It was important for us to work with these children for Chegg’s Global Day of Impact. We are a learners first company, and we are happy to be working with SEEDS to provide healthy and nutritious meals to over 15,500 students across Delhi-NCR and Visakhapatnam" said Vijay T.S. Managing Director, Chegg India.
Several dignitaries, government representatives and members of the school administration were present at the distribution of nutrition kits at the MCD Shakarpur School in Delhi.
