Eco-activists glue themselves to the glass of Botticelli's 'Spring' - video

THE PROVOCATION - Just a few days ago, other ecologists protesting against climate change had railed against Van Gogh's 'Sunflowers', exhibited at the National Gallery in London. One of them, Phoebe Plummer, had shouted: “What interests you most? Art or life? Are you more interested in protecting a painting or the planet?” In July, two more activists from Last Generation they had glued themselves to the glass that protects Botticelli's 'La Primavera' before being dragged away by the carabinieri.

VIDEO - This time the work of Monet, belonging to the collection of the donor and multi-billionaire Hasso Plattner, was targeted. 'Il Pagliaio' is on permanent display, but has no particular protections: only a cordon 30 centimeters from the ground which marks the point beyond which visitors cannot approach. The two overrode him by throwing the puree and posting the video of the demonstration action on Twitter. Museum spokeswoman Carolin Stranz said damage to the painting has yet to be assessed.
