That plane of glass has never done more work than in this sentence. The glass did its job and the painting is fine.

By this logic if you shoot at someone and they're behind thick bullet proof glass you've legally murdered them

Attempted Murder is a charge places.

Shooting in the direction of someone in the full knowledge that your bullet will not possibly hit them is not attempted murder. It's.. actually not any crime.

I'd say it was property damage to the window so vandalism? What about intimidating? Or are you saying they person behind the window is in on the shooting for lulz?

I mean, this is obviously taking the analogy too far for argument's sake. You can't intimidate a painting and soup doesn't damage glass.
