In the summer of 2012, the Irishman Andrew Shannon several times hit the Claude Monet “Sailor in Arzhantay Bay” (1874), causing her serious damage. Vandal could not really explain his actions, said that "his head was dizzy and he fell into the picture." This did not help him: in December 2014, the court sentenced him to five years in prison. After 18 months of restoration work, the work, the cost of which is estimated at 10 million euros, returned to the National Gallery of Ireland, where it was equipped with a special protective glass. And for those who would like to repeat the “feat” of Shannon, jokes, two artists and designer, created a special site : there the picture can cause more damage, the numbers are attached.
