The painting 'King Philip IV of Spain' by Peter Paul Rubens is destroyed by arson in Kunsthaus Zürich, Heimplatz 1, Zürich, Zürich, Switzerland.

The fire reduced the work to ashes, leaving only its Baroque frame. An unidentified man was arrested and said his reason for destroying this priceless work was to protest environmental pollution.
