According to Mauritshuis, the Vermeer painting was unharmed, which has closed off the room where the painting hangs while police investigate, while other halls of the museum remain open to the public.

The two activists in the image are wearing a white T-shirt as members of the Just Stop Oil organization.

“How do you feel when you see something so beautiful and valuable shatter before your eyes? We are outraged. This painting is protected by glass. That’s good, but vulnerable people across the planet are not protected. The future of our children is not protected. People in extreme poverty have to choose between heating and food and are not protected,” says one.
