Nowadays, on the internet, no one is safe from becoming a meme, especially not art. In fact, historical art memes have been ‘teaching’ new generations and connecting them with art way more than the art teachers do (though we advise against fact-checking this claim). Therefore, we at Bored Panda feel honored to occasionally enlighten our readers by presenting you with some of the most hilarious art memes that are guaranteed to enhance your appreciation of classical art.
This collection was picked from various corners of the internet, crafted by the finest meme creators, who share their unique perspectives of these timeless pieces of art. And though they are made exclusively for laughs, you are sure to have more images of classical art in your head installed after scrolling through this list. So, without further ado, let's hop into this gallery of art memes, and let us know in the comments which one has the most accurate caption.

Lady Anne of Sussex we just reviewed your painting. Those maggots crawling out of your eye socket really added a lovely touch to our “plague week” theme. Congratulations, you are England’s next Medieval Maiden!
I'm not entirely familiar with the show and this is still the funniest thing I've seen in a month! Bravo, to somebody
Why labeling this « medieval » ? It’s contemporary, ugly monarchs and kate moss like scrawny models..
My ex used to look at me that way when I didn't do what she had thought about asking me to do but didn't actualy asked me to do...
Probably because you should know what needs doing

Or you’re menopausal, and your chill turns into boiling hot flash and you’re dripping with flop sweat in the blink of an eye, and immediately throwing the covers OFF. Then cooling down once again, and curling up under the covers—-only to have the same damned thing happen again and again throughout the night. And people wonder why menopausal women can get extremely cranky.
Load More Replies...then it gets warm so you move your feet down so your not curled up anymore but now your legs are cold cuz the only place that got warm was where you body heat was, at the top half of the bed where you were curled up
Why is it that the fetal position is preferred by many people for sleeping? I am not an exception in this respect either...
Because we spent nine months in that position in the womb, feels right.

In relation to today's date, I remember that my choir teacher in 7th grade accidentally said "Happy 9/11!" When we entered class on this date. It was messed up.
As someone who lives in a very busy city, I felt this to my core.

My Mom and I went to my grandmothers ( my Dads Mom ) funeral, just to make sure she didn't pull Lazarus and was really f*****g dead. We all called her the Wicked Witch of the South for a damned reason. When we came home from the funeral my Mom, who could be one of the most kind people you would ever meet said "Ding dong, the witch is dead" as we walked into the house. Mom was awesome!! 😂😂😂 LMAO

Is that the secret to never having to hold a baby?
Load More Replies...Actually I genuinely want to know what is going on here. Don't suppose anyone knows the name of the painting?
Solved by Reddit: what we're looking at is two naked souls (discarded clothes on the left) sneaking past Saint Peter (with the big key to Heaven) to get to Heaven. So the thing by Saint Peter is actually a butt, not a diseased leg as I first thought, and the guy on the left is not Jesus at all, just a random guy. Manuscript illustration for Guillaume de Deguileville's story, "A Pilgrimage of Human Life" (1475), which was inspired by a dream.
Load More Replies...Only a guess, but it might represent Jesus curing the cancerous leg of St Peregrine and the key represents the key to heaven. Terrible painting.
Incorrect. But nice try. Jesus isn't even in this image.
Load More Replies...That's a bum and the guy that's touching it is not jesus. It was just a trendy hairstyle of the era I guess
That blue thing in the foreground looks like his discarded blue jeans.
It's discarded clothing, so well done you're close enough!
Load More Replies...If that's a key the guy in the middle is holding, the guy behind him is about to have a very bad day...
That is another person's butt not the old guy's leg...and why is Jesus nekkid?
Not at all, this is an excerpt from a painting by Pieter Bruegel the Elder called »Netherlandish Proverbs«...

Load More Replies...This is a portrait of Katharina Kepler who was the mother of the scientist Johannes Kepler. Sadly, Katharina was accused of witchcraft as she was outspoken and made herbal medicines. It is not know who painted the portrait, but her pointed hair may be an allusion to her being accused of witchcraft and therefore associated with the devil: https://www.invitinghistory.com/2015/10/october-offerings-horned-witch.html
Now we face the horns of the dilemma. And the dilemma of the horns.
I just want to say the artist did an amazing job on her dress. Weird looking kids, but the ruffles and reflections on the dress are amazing.

There's always a restaurant "in mind", the issue at hand is whether or not it's directly communicated when asked, or if the asked is forced to figure it out.

Nope. Once the jams are on and I’m all comfy, if it’s not an extreme emergency, I am not getting up, getting dressed, and going out. Nope. Not happening. Now go away and leave me alone.
My husband used to get annoyed when we first got together and would make plans but I'd come home and directly put my pajamas on. I told him "hello dinner isnt for another 2 hours...TV time is PJ time. I'll be ready" no better feeling than getting out of work clothes and into fuzzy PJS

I've gotten anxious over not having anything to be anxious about because I'm worried about how long the good vibes will last, thus ending said vibes.
Or if you don’t worry then something bad will happen because the act of worrying keeps bad stuff from happening.

at a time when elastic fabrics did not exist, I always wondered how they did to have such tight socks (edit : thank you all, full of possibility in fact :D)
They did have knitting. Also, cross fabric has give. I saw a pair of stockings at a museum once from the 1700s, those knitters knew their stuff! They were tiny stitches and beautiful. I was amazed.

Load More Replies...I love my country and hopefully we can make great again.. I wish only the best to all Americans
Making our country better is going to take the ability to look at the past of our country honestly, which is the first problem with "make America great *again*". It means you take America having been great in the past as axiomatic, when in fact American greatness has only ever been real for a small subset of Americans for a fairly narrow definition of greatness. In many ways, America had more greatness when that phrase was coined than it had ever had previously, and in the ways it had decidedly fallen, the people shouting MAGA wanted policies that would push the US, Mexico, and Canada (so at least North America) even further into decline (and those that were implemented have had exactly that effect). We should choose to progress toward greatness, not try to regress to something that was honestly pretty bad in a lot of ways.

Istg this looks like Henry VIII with George Boylen's head. Or am I just crazy?
It could also be king Herod Antipas and John the Baptist's head, and the two women are Herodias (Herod's wife) and Salome (Herodias's daughter, the one holding the platter). Edit: after some research, I have confirmed that yes, indeed, it is the Feast of Herod. :)
