Climate protesters throw soup over Mona Lisa, Da Vinci's masterpiece

Protesters in Paris have thrown soup at the protected glass painting of the Mona Lisa.

The 16th century painting by Leonardo da Vinci is one of the most famous artworks in the world and is kept at the Louvr in Paris.

It is located behind a bulletproof glass, so it is unlikely to have been damaged. A video shows two female protesters wearing T-shirts reading "food response" throwing soup over the painting.

They then stand opposite, demanding the right to "healthy and sustainable food" while saying that "our agricultural system is sick."

Museum security are then seen placing black screens in front of them before the room is evacuated.

The French capital has seen protests by farmers in recent days, calling for an end to rising fuel costs and simplification of regulations. On Friday they blocked major roads in and out of Paris in an attempt to draw attention to their cause.

The Mona Lisa has been behind security glass since the early 1950s, when it was damaged by a bystander who threw acid over it. In 2019, the museum said it had installed a more transparent form of bulletproof glass to protect it.

In 2022, an activist threw a cake over the painting, asking people to "think about the Earth."

The painting was stolen from the Louvri in 1911 - causing an international sensation. Vincenzo Peruggia, an employee of the world's most visited museum, hid in a closet overnight to retrieve the painting.

She was found two years later when he tried to sell it to an antique dealer in Florence, Italy.
