I think a lot of people saw snaps of tomato soup on sunflowers and assumed the painting itself was ruined. Only a pane of glass and a bit of frame got souped, folks. Taking two years off two kids' lives for this is unconscionable. Laws that criminalize peaceful protest to this degree are bonkers.

I visited the tomato souped painting a few days after and it was fine. I’m still reeling over the 20- and 24-month long sentences that the activists got.

A person wearing a gray shirt with a tomato graphic stands in front of Vincent van Gogh's famous "Sunflowers" painting. The wall behind them is painted gray, and there are museum labels nearby.

Yeah but £10,000 damage was done to the frame* *It's just a frame!

And whatever “people” thought, the court of law heard the actual story
