Footage shows climate activists opening two tins and throwing the contents on the masterpiece before apparently gluing their hands to the wall.
By Ian YoungsClimate activists have thrown tins of what appears to be tomato soup over a Van Gogh painting of sunflowers at the National Gallery in London.
A statement from the Trafalgar Square venue said: "At just after 11am this morning two people entered Room 43 of the National Gallery. The Metropolitan Police 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.
Videos of Friday's incident showed a protester shouting: "What is worth more? Art or life? Is it worth more than food? Worth more than justice? Are you more concerned about the protection of a painting or the protection of our planet and people?"
