Protesters Throw Soup At Da Vinci Painting - Paris

Protesters Throw Soup At Da Vinci Painting - Paris

File photo dated May 19, 2021 of Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa in Paris, France on May 28, 2013. Protesters have thrown soup at the glass-protected Mona Lisa painting in Paris on Sunday. The 16th Century paining by Leonardo da Vinci is one of the world's most famous artworks, and is held at the Louvre in Paris. It sits behind bulletproof glass so it is unlikely to have been damaged. A video showed two protesters demanding the right to "healthy and sustainable food", saying "our agricultural system is sick". The Mona Lisa has been behind safety glass since the early 1950s, when it was damaged by a visitor who poured acid on it. In 2019, the museum said it had installed a more transparent form of bulletproof glass to protect it. Photo by Aurore Marechal/ABACAPRESS.COM

The young king was trapped in Atienza, but just when all seemed lost, Alfonso's allies were able to use the distraction of a religious parade to use their fastest horses to spirit him away to safety in the city of Avila, saving his life and his crown. That celebration now sees Alfonso's escape recreated by riders from the Brotherhood
