The cake attack left a conspicuous white, creamy smear on the glass, but the famous work by Leonardo da Vinci was unharmed.
Videos posted on social media appear to show a young man in a wig and lipstick who had arrived in a wheelchair. The man, whose identity was unknown, was also seen throwing roses in the museum gallery.
The cake attack left a conspicuous white creamy smear on the glass but the famous work by Leonardo da Vinci was unharmed. Security guards were filmed escorting the wig-wearing activist away as he called out to the surprised visitors in the gallery: “Think of the Earth. There are people who are destroying the Earth. Think about it. Artists tell you: think of the Earth. That’s why I did this.”
