When supporters of former Brazilian president Bolsonaro ransacked the National Congress, presidential palace and Supreme Court, they didn’t just threaten the country’s young democracy; they also damaged iconic architecture and vandalized valuable artworks.
Rioters broke the glass of the presidential palace on Sunday.
Among the works that were damaged or destroyed was the 1995 painting “Bandeira do Brasil” — Flag of Brazil — by Jorge Eduardo, which shows the green, yellow and blue standard that serves as a backdrop for presidential pronouncements. The painting was found floating in the water that flooded the first floor after rioters opened fire hydrants, the palace said.
