The painting 'The Origin of the World', by Gustave Courbet (1819-1877), was painted with red paint on Monday at the Centre Pompidou-Metz, where it is on display.

The information was released by the museum, according to the AFP.

The work, which had been loaned by the Musée d'Orsay and was at the Pompidou-Metz as part of an exhibition on the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, was "protected by glass", according to the museum's communication, and was not damaged. 

The police went to the scene to carry out inquiries. Some sources have reported that arrests were made, although no further information has yet been released.
