caravaggista:

Diego Velazquez, The Rokeby Venus, detail (1647-1651). National Gallery of Art, London. In 1914, this painting was slashed multiple times by Mary Richardson, a suffragette protesting the arrest of  Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst. Richardson later revealed that the subject matter of the painting bothered her.
