40 Classical Works Of Art Reimagined As Internet Memes By “Art Memes Central”
Classical art might look serious in museums, but online it’s having a hilarious makeover, thanks to “Art Memes Central“. This group takes centuries-old paintings and pairs them with witty captions that feel painfully relatable today.
What’s particularly delightful is how these memes remind us that while the world has changed beyond recognition since these artworks were created, human emotions haven’t. Artists from hundreds of years ago painted faces of boredom, sass, panic, and pure, the same faces we make today, with fewer ruffled collars.
Here are some of their funniest creations to make you laugh (and maybe appreciate art history a little more).
