Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Velázquez's Rokeby Venus was attacked in 1914 by suffragette Mary Richardson, who slashed the painting as a protest against the arrest of Emmeline Pankhurst, a prominent suffragette leader. Richardson later explained that she targeted the painting because she objected to the way men in the museum gazed at it as if it were a real woman.
