This handout video grab taken from footage provided by action network Aterstall Vatmarker on June 14, 2023 shows two activists smearing paint on the painting "The Artist's Garden at Giverny" (1900) by French artist Claude Monet (1840-1926) at the National Museum in Stockholm, Sweden. Environment activists on June 14 smeared red paint and glued their hands to the protective glass on a Monet painting at Stockholm's National Museum, police and the museum said. "Two women around the ages of 25 and 30 were arrested," police said, as the organisation Aterstall Vatmarker (Restore Wetlands) claimed responsibility for the action in an interview with AFP. The museum told AFP it was "not yet known" if the painting itself had been damaged.
