‘There were gasps, roars and a shout of “Oh my gosh!” in room 43 of the gallery as two young supporters of the climate protest group threw the liquid over the painting, which is protected by glass, just after 11am.’

A statement from the National Gallery said that the painting, which is protected by glass, was not damaged.

Two people were arrested at the scene.
