Rokeby Venus by Diego Velezquez (1651)

Suffragette, Mary Richardson walked into the National Gallery in 1914 and attacked the canvas with a meat cleaver protesting the arrest of Emmeline Pankhurst the day before. Richardson was sentenced to 6 months imprisonment, the maximum allowed for destruction of an artwork.
