Two climate activists glued themselves to a 200-year-old masterpiece at London's National Gallery on Monday, the latest in a string of disruptive protests by British environmentalist group Just Stop Oil.
Completed in 1821,"The Hay Wain" is among Britain's best-known artworks. Depicting the Stour river, which divides the English counties of Suffolk and Essex, it is considered one of Constable's quintessential paintings. In a video of Monday's incident, posted to Just Stop Oil's Twitter account, Lazarus, a 22-year-old music student, can be heard telling onlookers that the"reimagined" version of the painting"shows the destructive nature of our addiction to oil."
"'The Hay Wain' suffered minor damage to its frame and there was also some disruption to the surface of the varnish on the painting — both of which have now been successfully dealt with," the gallery told CNN in a statement, adding that the painting will be back on display from Tuesday morning.
