....in the National Gallery on Saturday. Shocking, and terrible for any art lovers trying to get in to a particular room

Apparently the damage is limited to two slight scratches to the paint surface with no damage to the canvas ...... caused by 63 yr old homeless guy...

Well, hopefully not too difficult to repair then....seems a bit of a waste of time to search everyone at the entrance (though of course don't know where he hid the knife)...

Yes but in strange way it also adds to the social history of an artwork that would probably never be sold for a monetary value.... many of the worlds greatest art treasure have a back story involving damage or vandalism,,,,,

Tis a shame though,,,
