Eco-Activists Target Mona Lisa at the Louvre in Climate Protest.

In a report just reaching us, two climate activists have targeted the iconic Mona Lisa painting at the Louvre Museum in Paris, hurling soup over the world-renowned artwork. The incident, which occurred amidst a series of climate change demonstrations, saw Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece, housed behind bulletproof glass, splashed with an orange liquid by members of "Riposte Alimentaire" - an eco-activist group.

Despite the dramatic display, the Mona Lisa, painted over five centuries ago and considered one of the most valuable paintings in existence, remained undamaged due to its protective casing. This act of protest adds to a growing list of eco-activist demonstrations targeting priceless art as a means to draw attention to environmental issues.

The attack on the painting, which has left the frame and surrounding wall marked by the soup, is believed to be a statement against unsustainable agricultural practices. The activists, in a video capturing the moment, expressed their advocacy for "the right to healthy and sustainable food," aligning their actions with ongoing farmer-led protests in France over agricultural concerns.

This incident at the Louvre underscores the increasing boldness of eco-activists in using high-profile art to amplify their message on climate change and sustainability. While the painting itself escaped harm, the act has sparked a conversation about the methods used in climate activism and the protection of cultural heritage.
