Demonstrators today (Sunday) threw soup on the Mona Lisa painting in the Louvre museum in Paris.
The 16th-century piece is one of the most famous in the world and is protected by toughened glass, so it's unlikely to be damaged.
In the documentation from the incident, two protesters were seen demanding the right to "healthy and sustainable food" and saying that "our agricultural system is sick".
This is against the background of demonstrations by farmers that have paralyzed Paris in recent days, demanding to stop the rise in fuel prices and ease the regulation in the industry.
This is not the first time that Leonardo da Vinci's work is at the center of a protest.
In 2022, a protester threw a cake at the painting in a similar protest, while urging visitors to "think about the planet."
The Lisa meter has been placed under safety glass protection since the early 1950s, after a visitor spilled acid on it.
In 1911, an employee of the world's most popular museum stole it by hiding in a closet during the night.
The piece was located two years later, in Florence, when he tried to steal it to an antiques dealer.
