PARIS: A visitor to the Louvre’s newest extension, in northern France, has been detained after scrawling an inscription in marker on the famed canvas of Eugene Delacroix. The 28-year-old woman was immediately seized by a guard and another visitor, then handed over to police, according to a statement from the Louvre-Lens yesterday. It said the painting should be easily cleaned. The Louvre-Lens opened in December in Lens, a struggling coal town with an unemployment rate nearly three times the national average. The Delacroix work is among the artist’s most famous. According to Le Figaro newspaper, the woman wrote “AE911” near the bottom of the canvas.
