Classical artwork has nearly been served a full meal over the month of October. Following an incident earlier this month when protestors from climate change activist group Just Stop Oil tossed tomato soup on a Van Gogh painting, in the past two days, activists have thrown mashed potatoes over a Monet painting and stuffed what appears to be cake into the face of King Charles' Madame Tussauds wax figure.


Starting with the "Monet Mash," the side dish smash was orchestrated by two members of the German eco-activist group Letzte Generation. According to Metro, the pair entered Potsdam’s Barberini museum, tossed their potatoes and glued themselves to the floor, similar to how the Van Gogh protestors glued themselves to the wall after committing their deed.

"(The world is in) a climate catastrophe and all you are afraid of is tomato soup or mashed potatoes in a painting," one of the protestors shouted in German.

It appears that Monet's Grainstacks, estimated to be worth $110 million, was not damaged in the attack.

Meanwhile, Just Stop Oil activists returned to their culinary vandalism by shoving a cake-like substance into King Charles' wax figure at Madame Tussauds in London. One of the arrested activists, Ellie McFadden, stated, "The science is clear. The demand is simple: just stop new oil and gas. It's a piece of cake."

Social media was divided on how to take the attacks, as many felt sympathetic to their cause while others felt their headline-grabbing tactics had gone too far.


October has now seen artwork attacked with tomato soup, mashed potatoes and cake, meaning there's about a week left for protestors to attack art with steak and a glass of red wine in order to cap off a very yummy month.
