A Sawzall would clear that right up. Just take the hands off at the wrist and then you can get the hands off the glass at your leisure.

Are they now dead?

What total aholes...

While at the Uffizi, note the numerous crucifixion paintings that could serve as road maps to action.

Heads: chop off their hands
Tails: just leave them there

This kind of bullshit is going to continue until there are some real, meaningful consequences, like 15 years in prison.

I suggest that the hands of the offenders be cut off and super glued to the offenders butts!

As a warning to others, they should come in with a Sawz-All and remove the protestors while leaving their hands attached to the picture.

And the Pitti Palace just across the Arno.

Perps should be hung from the Ponte Vechio.

Botticelli burned enough of his paintings because of Savonarola’s scolding.

The remaining ones are luminous, fantastic visions of beauty. It makes one weep to think of those that were destroyed.

The Birth of Venus is beyond compare.

While I have little interest in much of what is designated as art, I don’t like to see it defaced. A solvent to dissolve the glue is sure to damage the painting as well.

Oh, they glued to the glass covering the paintings. My bad. Use a heavy duty scraper to remove them.

I’m not sure of the how the Italian police handle suspects like this but I’ve a feeling they’re like the Russian cops.

They don’t tolerate stuff like this and it wouldn’t surprise me if these ‘’activists’’ got lumped up pretty good on the way to the station for pulling a stunt like this.
