A hero gallery worker has silenced ranting eco-zealots after they glued themselves to a painting hung in Manchester Art Gallery today, making them the third set of eco activists to target a gallery this week.
After dousing a hand each with glue, the two men from the campaign group Just Stop Oil wearing orange t-shirts with the words 'Just Stop Oil' written in black on their fronts both placed a hand on either side of the frame surrounding Thomson's Aeolian Harp, a piece from 1809 by the English Romantic painter JMW Turner.
It is the third gallery to be targeted by Just Stop Oil in three days, after a Van Gogh piece in London and a Horatio McCulloch painting fell victim to protesters earlier this week.
Spray painted on the floor underneath the JMW Turner painting in Manchester today read the words, 'no new oil'.
