According to AFP Dijon, France, February 10, ** poured soup on a painting of Monet in a museum in southeastern France on the 10th, which is the latest action of an organization after a similar attack on the famous painting "Mona Lisa" last month.

The Museum of Fine Arts in Lyon, France's third-largest city, said in an announcement that French Impressionist painter Monet's masterpiece "Spring" was attacked at 3:30 pm local time on the 10th.

The painting, painted in 1872, is protected by glass, but will still be carefully examined and restored, the museum said. The museum said it would file a complaint about vandalism, adding that two activists had been arrested.

In a post on the social media platform X, the group "Food Strikes Back" claimed responsibility for the attack, with a 20-year-old woman who identified herself as Ilona saying: "We must act now or it will be too late." ”

The group, which calls for sustainable access to healthy food for all, also planned and carried out the "soup dumping" of the famous painting "Mona Lisa" at the Louvre Museum in France in January.
