It’s about the man who stayed true to the enamel painting, Wouter M., who previously ran climate campaigns in Belgium, and the man who filmed the action. “They are suspected of destruction and outright violence against the painting Girl with a Pearl Earring, committed in association,” says the prosecutor.
The third suspect, who threw a red substance at Wouter M. and glued his hand to the back panel, did not accept his case being handled by the superfast judge. Tomorrow he will be brought before the investigating judge. The three suspects are Belgian nationals. They are a 42-year-old man and two 45-year-old men.
The girl with the pearl earring took no damage from the action as she is behind glass. The list has been corrupted. Johannes Vermeer’s painting was placed in the Mauritshuis room on Friday afternoon.
