Two Just Stop Oil protesters were arrested after smashing the glass protecting the iconic Rokeby Venus by Diego Velázquez at the National Gallery in London.
The incident comes hot on the heels of several widely publicised attacks against artworks by climate activists.
Is art vandalism for ostensibly noble political purposes justified, or is there something more sinister — and indefensible — at play?

Diego Velázquez (ES, 1599 - 1660)
Las Hilanderas (The spinners) / The Fable of Arachne (La fábula de Aracne) ca. 1657. Oil on canvas 222,5 × 293 cm. Prado
The x-ray of the canvas reveals the multiple patches used to expand the originally cramped yet ingeniously reversed POV of the theme.
In 1948, art historian Diego Angula produced a convincing argument that the iconography of Las Hilanderas suggests the Fable of Arachne. The helmeted figure in the background is Pallas Athena, and the tapestry visible to the viewer as the Rape of Europa, the subject that Arachne was said to depict.
The tapestry is a copy after Titian's Rape of Europa, also copied by Rubens in 1629, both prized items in the Spanish royal collection.
The reference to Titian and Rubens's copies could be a parallel to Arachne's conviction of being able to surpass goddess Athena. The POV reverse could also be a provocation by setting lay women just in the front layer...
