The Just Stop Oil group is known for disrupting roads and members locking themselves to pipes in oil terminals, and this past week they have targeted art institutions.
"But now it feels unfair to expect them to respect our culture when their government is hell-bent on destroying their future by licensing new oil and gas projects.Ms Porter called for all new oil and gas exploration to stop, pledging that the group"will stop disrupting art institutions as soon as the government makes a meaningful statement to do so".
The Last Supper copy, which was painted by one of the Italian virtuoso's students Giampietrino in around 1520, shows the biblical scene in which Jesus announces that one of his Twelve Apostles will betray him. Art student Jessica Agar, 21, one of the five activists identified by the group, said:"No painting is worth more than my six-month-old nephew's life."Nurses are lining up outside food banks, not galleries.
A spokesperson for the Royal Academy confirmed that five people had entered the institution's Collection Gallery and glued themselves to The Last Supper painting's frame.
