Climate protestors from the Last Generation activist group have thrown mashed potato at a Monet painting in Germany.
The famous artwork - which is part of Monet's celebrated Haystacks series - was sold at auction three years ago for $110 million, per Sky News.
In a video shared on Twitter, two protestors dressed in orange fluorescent vests can be seen throwing tubs of mashed potato at Les Meules where it hangs in the Barberini Museum in Potsdam.
They then quickly superglue their hands to the wall below the painting and begin speaking in German to the astonished bystanders.
Watch the jaw-dropping moment below:One shouts: "Does it take mashed potato on a painting to make you listen? This painting is not going to be worth anything if we have to fight over food. When will you finally start to listen?"
Because the multimillion-dollar painting is enclosed in glass, no actual damage was caused to it. The Barberini Museum has confirmed that it will be back on display on Wednesday (October 26).
This isn't the first time climate activists have targeted an iconic painting to try and get the world's attention.
Just the other week, protestors from the UK-based Just Stop Oil campaign threw tomato soup over Van Gogh's famous Sunflowers painting at the National Gallery in London.
A video of the moment shared by Just Stop Oil shows two women hurling the contents of two tins of Heinz tomato soup over the 1888 painting, which has an estimated value of over $80 million per Sky News.
Watch the shocking moment below:They then superglued themselves to the wall and delivered an impassioned speech to shocked onlookers.
"What is worth more? Art or life?" shouts the woman, who Sky News named as 21-year-old Phoebe Plummer.
She continued: "Are you more concerned about the protection of a painting? Or the protection of our planet and people?"
"The cost of living crisis is part of the cost of oil crisis. Fuel is unaffordable to millions of cold, hungry families. They can't even afford to heat a tin of soup," she added, motioning to the empty tin in her hand.
Like the Monet painting in Potsdam, a glass covering ensured that the Van Gogh itself was not damaged. It has since been put back on display.
