Just Stop Oil supporters have thrown soup over two Vincent van Gogh paintings, just hours after two activists were given prison sentences.

Three protesters threw an orange-coloured vegetable soup at the paintings in the Poets and Lovers exhibition at the National Gallery in central London.

Earlier on Friday, Phoebe Plummer, 23, was given a two-year jail term, while Anna Holland, 22, got 20 months, for throwing soup over Van Gogh’s Sunflowers in October 2022.

The pair caused £10,000 of damage to the gold-coloured frame of the glass-covered painting.
