A climate activist was arrested at the Musée d’Orsay in Paris after sticking a blood-red poster over Monet’s painting of poppy fields. The woman then revealed a T-shirt saying ‘L’enfer’ (hell). The action by a member of Riposte Alimentaire (Food Response) – a group of environmental activists and advocates of sustainable food production – was seen in a video posted to X. In the video she said of the poster covering Monet’s art that ‘this nightmarish image awaits us if no alternative is put in place’
