Two Just Stop Oil activists have been found guilty of criminal damage after
throwing soup over a Vincent Van Gogh painting.

Anna Holland and Phoebe Plummer, both 22, were found guilty at Southwark
Crown Court of criminal damage after throwing tinned soup over van Gogh’s
Sunflowers in 2022.

The protesters, wearing Just Stop Oil T-shirts, threw two tins of Heinz
tomato soup over the 1888 work hanging in the National Gallery in October
2022, before kneeling down in front of the painting and glueing their hands
to the wall beneath it.

While the painting was not harmed in the attack, there was damage to its
17th-century gold-coloured frame, which prosecutors said was “a piece of art
in itself”.

The court had heard that the soup, which the pair bought at a nearby Tesco,
acted like paint stripper on the wood frame.

“Are you more concerned about the protection of a painting, or the
protection of our planet and people? The cost of living crisis is part of
the cost of oil crisis.”

The pair had denied the charge of criminal damage over the action.

The two women were released on bail by Judge Christopher Hehir, who recently
jailed five Just Stop Oil activists for between four and five years for
disruption on the M25.

They are expected to be sentenced on Sept 27.

Their bail conditions stipulate that they must not carry glue, paint or any
adhesive substance in a public place, and must not visit any galleries or
museums.

The painting was the second from the National Gallery targeted by Just Stop
Oil in 2022, with two supporters glueing themselves to John Constable’s The
Hay Wain in July.

For vandalising a Van Gogh, they should get life.

Just what on earth is in Heinz tomato soup to make it act like 'paint
stripper'?!?

Citric acid and sugars.

Ordinary foodstuffs can sometimes have a surprising effect on objects. I
remember a really small spot of Madras sauce (from a tin - I shan't
mention the brand) being missed when clearing up after a meal
preparation. Over the course of just a couple of hours, it ate through
the top layer of the laminated kitchen worktop, creating a small hole. I
filled the pit with a drop of mastic which more or less matched the colour.

God knows what it does to your stomach.

"I didn't know that the damage I sought to inflict on that painting
would damage it" doesn't sound like the best defence line I ever heard.

Heinz ketchup and associated products are some of the worst things you can eat.
