50 Iconic And Chaotic Memes That Prove Classical Art Can Still Be Relevant In The Digital Age
The Mona Lisa is considered the most famous painting in the world. But despite this, some people might not know what the original actually looks like. And that’s because there are so many Mona Lisa memes doing the rounds that the real OG could very well be struggling to crack that enigmatic smile.
It’s highly unlikely that Leonardo would have imagined his artwork being converted into every conceivable context and shared widely on this thing we now know as the Gram. But here we are, turning famous masterpieces on their heads - and having the best laughs while at it.
You don't need to be a classical art lover to enjoy the humor that accompanies these kinds of memes. Many reimagine what the artist was thinking, and put a modern spin on the piece that makes it hilariously highly relatable. There's an Instagram account called Classiqmemez. It's clocked up over 14,000 followers, and a lot of the content might crack you up. Keep scrolling for an epic trip through an art gallery of a different kind, and don't forget to upvote your favorites.

As a tip to all other long termers: "You didn't listen?" "Sorry, recap" is a valid conversation. No one can be brain and ears on all the time

Have I mentioned that I'm retired? I mean recently. Like in the last five minutes.

Better to be anonymous and unknown than be the obsession of a psychopath.

Back in the day when trains had compartments, a friend was alone in one when a flasher struck. She peered at it and said, I haven't got my glasses with me.

And I don’t mean just laying there with my eyes closed for ten to twelve hours either. I’m talking at least four full cycles of REM and NREM—-N1, N2, and especially N3—sleep, so I wake up totally refreshed and ready to take on the world. I know it’s a nearly impossible fantasy to fulfill, but I can dream, can’t I? Well, daydream since I’m not sleeping as well as I should. You get my drift.

She looks like Phryne Fisher. (Fictional lady detective in 1928 Melbourne. Featured in a series of great books and an *excellent* TV series.)

Maybe that is why our memory fails when we get old, so we can finally have some peace.

Okay, second time on this list with this subject. I looked it up. It's (surprise!) a scene from the bible. Jael features in the book of Judges as the woman who killed Sisera, the leader of King Jabin's Canaanite army, by hammering a tent nail into the sleeping man's head.

I think those are elvers, baby eels known as "pibales" in French, which are considered a luxury food.

I like this kind of meme, but it's a shame that the names of the paintings and their authors are not mentioned.

Entertainment AND education, all rolled into one. I like that idea.
