If something exists, chances are someone’s already turned it into a meme.
And classical paintings? They were practically made for it. With dramatic scenes, bold colors, and wildly expressive faces, all they need is the right caption to turn them into comedy gold.
That’s why we’ve rounded up some of the best posts from the Facebook group Classical Art Memes—a perfect combination of timeless art and modern humor. Scroll down, have a laugh, and don’t forget to upvote your favorites. Enjoy!
