激进环保人士又对世界名画下手了!
继梵高的《向日葵》被泼番茄汁,莫奈的《干草堆》被糊土豆泥之后,约翰内斯·维米尔 (Johannes Vermeer)的《戴珍珠耳环的少女》 (Girl With a Pearl Earring)也遭殃了……
The artwork by Johannes Vermeer, exhibited in The Hague, was the latest artwork to be targeted by protesters concerned about climate change. The stunts have recently included hurling mashed potatoes at a painting by Claude Monet and splattering soup on a painting by Vincent van Gogh.

社交媒体上流传的现场视频显示,一名男子试图用强力胶把自己的头粘在画上,他的同伴则把一罐番茄汤倒在了他身上,之后又将自己的手粘在了这幅画的嵌板上,旁边还有一男子负责拍摄视频。
The one-minute video clip of the action shows a man coming close to the painting and gluing his head to it. At the same time, another man adheres his hand to the wall next to the artwork and pours a red substance on the first man's head and body.

视频中,一名抗议者大声喊道:“当你看到美丽而无价的东西在你眼前被破坏时,你有什么感觉?你感到愤怒吗?很好。这就是你看到地球在我们眼前被摧毁时的感觉。”
"How do you feel when you see something beautiful and priceless being apparently destroyed before your eyes?" the protester said. "Do you feel outraged? Good. Where is that feeling when you see the planet being destroyed before your very eyes?"
这两名男子的行为引发周围观众的强烈不满,视频中可以清楚听到围观群众的怒斥声:“你们真可耻!” “愚蠢!” “闭嘴吧!” “道德败坏!(obscene)” “离那儿远点!”
The protester who glued his hand to the wall addresses onlookers who have gathered around. People can be heard gasping, expressing their outrage and calling the pair "obscene".
这三名男子已当场被警方控制。海牙警方在推特上通报称,这三名嫌疑人年龄分别为45岁、45岁和42岁,且都拥有比利时国籍。警方以“暴力侵害公共财产罪”将这三人逮捕,目前他们已被拘留并接受审讯。
莫瑞泰斯皇家美术馆当天也发布声明称,《戴珍珠耳环的少女》并没有因此次事件而受损,“我们的修复人员已经检查了画作的状况,幸运的是,这件被玻璃覆盖的杰作没有受损。”
美术馆方面斥责了这几名激进环保人士的行为:“艺术是没有防御能力的,莫瑞泰斯美术馆坚决反对以任何目的破坏它们的企图。”
"Art is defenseless, and the Mauritshuis firmly rejects attempts to damage it for any purpose whatsoever," René Timmermans, a spokesman for the Mauritshuis museum said.
据悉,《戴珍珠耳环的少女》是荷兰黄金时代绘画大师约翰内斯·维米尔的代表作品,于1665年创作完成。这幅作品被荷兰艺术家评论家戈施耶德赞为“北方的蒙娜丽莎”。美国女作家特蕾西·谢瓦利耶(Tracy Chevalier)1999年以此画为灵感,创作了同名畅销历史小说《戴珍珠耳环的少女》,这部小说2003年被改编为电影,由美国女星斯嘉丽·约翰逊出演。
Intrigue over the painting, depicting a luminous young woman wearing a vibrantly colored turban and an oversized, gleaming pearl earring, has grown over the decades, possibly amplified by popular depictions in a novel that explored the identity of Vermeer's muse. The book, which shares its name with the painting and was written by Tracy Chevalier, was later adapted into a movie starring Scarlett Johansson.
此次企图破坏画作的环保激进分子身穿印有“Just Stop Oil”字样的T恤,但英国“停止石油”(Just Stop Oil)组织表示这次行动不是他们组织策划的。
The protesters who targeted Girl With a Pearl Earring on Thursday were wearing shirts printed with the logo of Just Stop Oil, a group opposing oil and gas projects in Britain. Lucy Graves, a spokeswoman for the group, said in a statement that it had not organized this action.
但该组织发言人表示支持此次行动,“因为如果我们不结束对化石燃料的依赖,很快地球上就没有人能享受艺术了。这是我们的观点。”
"If we don't stop the harm caused by burning fossil fuels there will be no one to look at the masterpieces," she said.
据莫瑞泰斯皇家美术馆推特声明,《戴珍珠耳环的少女》已于事件发生的第二天恢复展览。
