U.K. climate activists also recently glued themselves to the frame of an 1889 Vincent van Gogh painting in protest of new fossil fuel production and licensing.
During that incident, the pair also covered the painting with their own "reimagined version," calling for the government to end new oil and gas licenses and for art institutions "to join them in civil resistance," Just Stop Oil said in an accompanying statement.
The Hay Wain is regarded as one of Constable’s most famous paintings and among the most iconic pieces of British art. It depicts a rural scene, including a wooden wagon making its way across shallow water, on the River Stour in Suffolk. The protesters were seen wearing white T-shirts with the slogan "Just Stop Oil" written across the front as each had a hand glued to the frame of the painting.
