Climate activist glues hand to wall after placing sticker on Monet's Poppies at Musée d'Orsay

A member of the activist group Riposte Alimentaire was arrested by police at the Musée d'Orsay after placing an adhesive sticker depicting a desolate red landscape over Claude Monet's 1873 painting Poppies at Argenteuil. The artwork was shielded by protective glass, preventing direct contact. In a video shared on X/Twitter, the protestor declared that this nightmarish image represents our future unless alternatives are implemented, while gluing her hand to the wall. This incident follows similar actions by Riposte Alimentaire, including sticker placements around Eugène Delacroix's Liberty Leading the People last month and a soup attack targeting the Mona Lisa. The group's tactics involve targeting iconic artworks to draw attention to climate concerns.
