The action took place on October 28 at the Mauritshuis art museum in The Hague.

Two climate activists glued themselves to Johannes Vermeer's painting Girl with a Pearl Earring.

They have already received their sentence: both are sentenced to two months in prison, CNN reports, among other things.

It is unclear whether the people have any official connection to the organization Just stop oil, whose logo they wore on their shirts at the time.

There was also a third person at the scene who filmed the action.

He has not yet received his sentence, and claims not to be an activist but a photojournalist.

So far, the artworks themselves have not been damaged, as they have protective glass.

The art coup in the Netherlands is one of a series of similar art coups.

Below you can see why Just stop oil is committed to art, and how they view the criticism.
