Historical and Artistic Context:Notable Attacks:
Attacker: Mary Richardson, a suffragette
Incident: On March 10, 1914, Richardson attacked the painting with a meat cleaver, slashing it multiple times.
Reason: The attack was a protest against the arrest of Emmeline Pankhurst, a leading suffragette.
Aftermath: The painting was meticulously restored and returned to display.
Attacker: An environmental activist
Incident: In 2023, the "Rokeby Venus" was attacked again by an environmental activist who threw an oily substance at the painting.
Reason: The attack was part of a protest against climate change inaction.

The "Rokeby Venus" by Diego Velázquez is a celebrated masterpiece known for its delicate portrayal of Venus and its remarkable technique. Despite being subject to attacks, including the famous 1914 suffragette incident and the recent 2023 climate protest, the painting remains a treasured part of The National Gallery's collection, symbolizing both artistic beauty and the ongoing relevance of art in societal discourse.
